Position Description:
   

The Artificial Organs Lab in the Department of Surgery at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, is a national leader in the development of artificial lungs and hearts, with a focus on blood-contacting devices such as circulatory support systems, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and blood pumps. The lab is led by a multidisciplinary team of engineers and clinicians, with expertise spanning the engineering, clinical, and scientific aspects of medical devices. The lab's research team includes clinicians, surgeons, scientists, engineers, residents, and students. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioengineering/Biomechanics to lead the design and development of a novel cannula for next-generation ECMO devices, as well as related device accessories. Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will design, develop, and optimize a compact system for circulatory assist and ECMO device using engineering modelling, computer aided design, and experimental techniques. We are specifically interested in applicants with experience in medical devices including virtual design, fabrication, system integration. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: • Perform detailed design, fabrication, iteration, and development of components and assemblies for a compact circulatory assist system. • Collaborate as a team member, leader, or independently to research, develop, design, test, and evaluate components, equipment, and systems. • Demonstrate independent troubleshooting and repair of malfunctions in instrumentation and systems. • Conduct comprehensive data analysis of ongoing research and write professional articles for publication, funding proposal, or report to funder. Qualifications: A PhD in Bioengineering, Biomechanics, Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field is required, with a broad understanding of medicine and engineering. Preferred candidates will have experience in computer-aided design (CAD), experiments involving blood products, system control and integration, and medical devices. Contact: The ideal candidates shall have strong leadership skills and contribute to the growing translational cardiovascular/bioengineering research at the University of Maryland Baltimore. Applicants should send a 1-page cover letter that describes their research experience and goals, cirriculum vitae, and contact information for at least 3 references to Dong Han, Ph.D. at dhan@som.umaryland.edu or Zhongjun Jon Wu, Ph.D. at zwu@som.umaryland.edu.
