Positions for Postdocs and Graduate Students in

Biomaterials for Immunoengineering

Yin Lab, BME, UT Austin

Yin lab@UT Austin

Multiple positions for postdocs and graduate students in the interface of engineering and immunology are available in the laboratory of Dr. Qian Yin in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), starting from January 1st, 2024. The research in Yin lab focuses on employing a biomaterials-centric approach to elucidate the key mechanism for potentiating or diversifying the immune responses, and in parallel, to precisely modulate the immune system and create new immunotherapies against cancer and infectious diseases. The lab will leverage cutting-edge technologies in synthetic chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, systems immunology, and organoid models to advance developments in cancer immunotherapy and anti-viral vaccines. Our ultimate goal is to translate these new technologies and therapies for clinical applications. In Yin lab, we strive to nurture a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive environment where all members enjoy conducting research, sharing their passion for science with others, collaboratively uncovering inspiring discoveries, and actively pursuing career development. Highly motivated candidates with any related background including Chemistry, Bioengineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical engineering, Immunology, and Cancer Biology are encouraged to apply.

Short Bio of Dr. Yin

Dr. Qian Yin will join UT Austin BME as Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in January 2024. She received her B.S. in Polymer Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Shiyong Liu at University of Science and Technology of China in 2010, and her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Jianjun Cheng at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2015. During her postdoc training with Prof. Mark Davis at Stanford University, she created her unique interdisciplinary research niche by designing innovative engineering tools to address fundamental questions in immunology and develop advanced immunotherapies. Dr. Yin is the recipient of CPRIT First-Time, Tenure-Track Faculty award, Stanford Cancer Institute Fellowship/Ellie Guardino Research Fund, NCI CCNE-TD Pilot Project award, CRI Lloyd J Old Memorial Fellowship and Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship, NCI M-CNTC Fellowship, Nadine Barrie Smith Memorial Fellowship, Beckman Institute Graduate Fellowship, 3M Graduate Fellow, and Racheff-Intel Award.
