Johns Hopkins University strives to be a pluralistic community that embraces the values and imperatives of diversity, equity, and inclusion as integral to our missions of education, research, and service. We are committed to doing our part to address both the lag in diverse faculty recruitment in higher education and the need to build stronger networks to support faculty advancement and success. Thus, we are endeavoring to hire multiple faculty members into interdisciplinary cohorts (clusters) for Fall 2025 anticipated start dates.
This cluster hire initiative is part of the Fannie Gaston-Johansson Faculty of Excellence Program (FGJFEP) at Johns Hopkins University which is a $50 million investment that focuses on the recruitment, retention, and advancement of faculty who demonstrate a commitment to inclusive excellence in teaching, research, and service as part of JHU’s Second Roadmap on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This program has the following benefits: opportunities to participate in community-building and networking, leadership development, and strong mentoring support. Faculty hired into this program are known as Fannie Gaston-Johansson Professors.
The excellence of Johns Hopkins investigators in mathematics, biology, medicine, biostatistics, and computational biology provides a rich environment in which MathBio can thrive. The goal of the MathBio cluster is to coalesce efforts and create synergy among the researchers while diversifying the faculty who work at the intersection of life sciences and mathematics. MathBio is fundamentally transdisciplinary and often team driven. This collaborative research environment fosters an inclusive community. The MathBio cluster will be central to all the modeling and computational research in the life- and health sciences at Johns Hopkins.

Interested individuals are encouraged to explore research opportunities, and to contact related faculty about their interests and with questions about next steps.
The Wilson Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University is currently in search of talented postdoc candidates with a passion for science and a strong desire to make a positive impact on human health. Broad experience, as evidenced by published results, in small-molecule and/or polymer synthesis is an absolute requirement. The Wilson Lab’s research focuses on the synthesis and preclinical validation of biomaterials-based immunomodulatory therapies that bias the adaptive immune response for the treatment of cancer, autoimmunity and infectious diseases. The work includes the synthesis of novel biomaterials via small-molecule organic and polymer chemistry and the characterization of novel materials via sophisticated techniques including FT-IF, NMR, LC/MS/MS, UV/Vis, DLS, SEM and TEM. Our postdoc will have the opportunity to test biomaterial functionality in vitro and in vivo. The individual will assist in the training of Jr lab members, thus excellent interpersonal skills are required. Postdocs will be expected to demonstrate independence in experimental design and execution and work effectively with others in a collaborative setting. The individual will receive training so that they may confidently present results at both national and international meetings, and author grants, fellowships, and manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals.
The successful candidate will be highly motivated and have a proven track record of conducting independent research. Candidates must have a track record of publishing research that demonstrates their ability to perform multi-step organic small-molecule or polymer synthesis. Special consideration will be given to candidates that also have experience in cell culture and/or animal work. A PhD degree in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, or like field is a prerequisite.
We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented or minority groups. We pride ourselves in establishing a creative, stimulating, and diverse environment wherein researchers put their ideas into action and obtain expertise in technology development and chemistry approaches.
Our postdocs perform cross-cutting research at the interface of materials development and immunology with collaborators at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Applicants are required to submit 1) curriculum vitae, 2) cover letter that highlights the candidates experience in organic synthesis, 3) a list of three references. Applications should be submitted to [email protected]. For more information on the Wilson Lab at JHU and to apply go to www.immunoengineeringlab.com.
