Job Description
Description
- Lead impactful research projects exploring the intricacies of lung and pelvic floor biomechanics.
- Collaborate with a vibrant team of scientists and engineers.
- Disseminate findings through publications, conferences, and collaborations.
- Champion new ideas and methodologies in mechanobiology.
Research at the Bone Bioengineering Lab: Bone Bioengineering holds a critical position in basic science and clinical applications across various medical fields, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and intervertebral disc degeneration. Our lab has been at the forefront of developing three-dimensional imaging analysis and modeling techniques for trabecular bone microstructure. This has far-reaching applications in the basic science research of bone mechanics as well as clinical applications in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. We are also delving into the bone microstructural phenotypes across different races and the implications this has for genetic and precision medicine, anthropology, evolution, and the mechanobiology of the skeleton. In parallel, we are exploring how mechanobiology is linked to bone microstructure and mechanics.
Preferred and Required Qualifications
Dynamic researchers who are curious, driven, and ready to traverse the interdisciplinary realms of mechanobiology. If you're eager to contribute to pioneering research and explore the biomechanics of vital organs, this is your opportunity.
Application Details
Submit your CV, a compelling cover letter discussing your research interests and expertise, and contacts for three professional references to Prof. Guo at exg1@columbia.edu.

About
Biomedical engineering is an evolving discipline in engineering that draws on collaboration among engineers, physicians, and scientists to provide interdisciplinary insight into medical and biological problems. The field has developed its own knowledge base and principles that are the foundation for the academic programs designed by the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University.
Courses
Courses offered by the Department of Biomedical Engineering are complemented by courses offered by other departments in The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science and by many departments in the Faculty of Medicine, the College of Dental Medicine, and the Mailman School of Public Health, as well as the science departments within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Research Areas
Areas of particular interest to Columbia faculty include biomechanics, cellular and tissue engineering and artificial organs, auditory biophysics, and biosignals and biomedical imaging.
The programs in biomedical engineering at Columbia (BS, MS, PhD, EngScD, and MD/PhD) prepare students to apply engineering and applied science to problems in biology, medicine, and the understanding of living systems and their behavior, and to develop biomedical systems and devices. Modern engineering encompasses sophisticated approaches to measurement, data acquisition and analysis, simulation, and systems identification. These approaches are useful in the study of individual cells, organs, entire organisms, and populations of organisms. The increasing value of mathematical models in the analysis of living systems is an important sign of the success of contemporary activity. Programs in biomedical engineering are taught by our own faculty, members of other Engineering departments, and faculty from other university divisions who have strong interests and involvement in biomedical engineering. Several of the faculty hold joint appointments in Biomedical Engineering and other University departments.
