Postdoctoral Fellows Program

QSI RENU's Postdoctoral Fellowship of Excellence in Translational Regenerative Engineering is a highly competitive award designed to educate the next generation of scientists that will advance academic research technologies into patient-facing products. Postdoctoral Fellows will engage in transdisciplinary regenerative engineering research and will work primarily at the QSI RENU laboratories in the Simpson Querrey Biomedical Research Center on Northwestern’s downtown Chicago medical campus.

Application Deadline: We are currently transitioning to a rolling application cycle and will post the application link on this page within the next few weeks. Interested candidates may contact renu@northwestern.edu and request to be notified when the application is available.

Requirements: Candidates must have completed their PhD within the past two years in a field relevant to regenerative engineering, such as biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, bioengineering, or a related field. Applicants should not have completed a previous postdoctoral experience. Candidates must identify at least two QSI RENU faculty, one from the school of engineering and one from the school of medicine, to serve in a co-advisory role. The proposed work should fit into one of QSI RENU’s six research areas related to regenerative engineering.
