Job/Position Description-

“Postdoctoral Position” on “Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” Department of Biomedical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad

Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine is an emerging and highly interdisciplinary research field requiring a multidisciplinary skill set. Regenerative or Tissue Engineering evolved from the field of biomaterials development and refers to combining biomaterials, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional tissues. Regenerative medicine aims to assemble functional constructs that restore, maintain, or improve damaged tissues or whole organs. Our laboratory works at the interface of materials engineering (including FDA-approved polymeric Biomaterials) and stem cell biology to develop next-generation approaches in generating tissues such as bone, cartilage, heart and skin, etc by understanding the biomaterials-stem cells interface and stem cells’ niche. We seek talented, motivated and passionate individuals, eager to learn multidisciplinary skill sets and ready to explore their talent/idea/experience in improving human health care, and to join our efforts in a leading-edge translation research on “Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine”. The candidate will get a highly interdisciplinary work environment to perform cutting-edge research and high-impact publications.

Duration of project: Up to 3 years. The initial appointment will be for 6 months. Based on performance, the appointment could be extended till the end of the project.

Emoluments: INR 75,000 consolidated salary per month, with a Possible increment in the 3^rd Year based on performance.

How to Apply-

Eligible candidates should apply with their CV via email to enarm@bme.iith.ac.in by 9^th Nov, 2025, with the subject marked as “Postdoctoral Position on Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine”.
