Postdoc — AI for Bioprinting & Regenerative Liver Engineering

We invite applicants for a postdoctoral position on the LIVER project (Large-scale, Intelligent, Vascularized, Engineered, Regenerative liver). The role focuses on AI-driven methods for image processing, experimental design, and automated manufacturing of large-scale, multi-cellular bioprinted liver constructs. You will develop and apply machine learning techniques to: 1) extract quantitative features from microscopy and non-invasive imaging, 2) drive AI-assisted design for patient-specific constructs, and 3) close the loop between computational design and scalable bioprinting manufacturing.

Background & research goals

The project combines automated experimental design, scalable 3D bioprinting, biophysical modeling, GMP-compliant iPSC generation, multi-lineage differentiation, and in vivo validation. The postdoc will lead development of AI modules for image-based phenotyping, automated defect detection, generative models for optimizing scaffold/vascular layouts, and biophysics-guided deep learning models that inform manufacturing design for reproducible, market-viable biofabrication.

Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, applied math, or related fields.
  • Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision.
  • Experience with generative modeling, Bayesian experimental design, and biophysical simulation.
  • Familiarity with image processing, segmentation, 3D data modeling and 3D printing workflows is a plus.
  • Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar).
  • Excellent communication and collaborative skills for interdisciplinary work across biology, engineering, and clinical teams.
Application
  • Curriculum vitae (including publications)
  • Cover letter describing research interests, relevant experience in AI for science, especially smart manufacturing, and fit to this project
  • Names and contact information of 3 references
