Position Title Technician / Staff Scientist / Postdoctoral Fellow

Project Focus: Erythroid Biomanufacturing Platform Development

Location: Dept. of Cell Biology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York

Field: Stem Cell Biology, Hematology, Bioengineering

Job Type: Full-time, Academic Appointment

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with experience in cell culture to join our translational academic lab focused on large-scale production of lab-grown red blood cells. The position lies at the intersection of stem cell biology, erythropoiesis, and bioprocess engineering, with direct applications in transfusion medicine and cell-based therapeutics.

What We Offer:

• Academic freedom with a translational focus

• Access to a vibrant research environment and state-of-the-art facilities

• Mentorship and opportunities for authorship, patents, and spinout participation

• Competitive salary based on experience (expected range: $55,000–$95,000)

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, including:

• PhD-level postdoctoral candidates interested in a translational research environment

• Biotech-trained scientists or engineers seeking meaningful academic work with potential real-world impact

• Experienced research staff or bioengineers with hands-on expertise in advanced cell culture systems

This is a flexible opportunity. We have funding for multiple roles but will begin by hiring one candidate, with the title and responsibilities tailored to your background

Required Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture (stem/progenitor cells preferred)

• Demonstrated independence and strong problem-solving skills

Preferred (but not required):

• Experience with erythroid cells, hematopoietic or iPSCs differentiation

• Experience with CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic engineering

• Experience with bioreactor systems, perfusion culture, or process optimization

• Experience in biotech, CDMOs, or GMP-adjacent environments

• Engineering background (e.g., bioengineering, chemical engineering)
