Director B

The primary purpose of this position is to provide scientific and operational leadership for a multidisciplinary bioengineering research program focused on uncovering the biological and biomechanical mechanisms that regulate tendon and ligament injury, healing, repair, and regeneration. The Director B will work closely with the Principal Investigator to coordinate research activities, supervise personnel, develop collaborative initiatives, and support strategic growth of the laboratory. This position requires an experienced scientific leader capable of managing complex research programs while advancing high-impact discoveries in musculoskeletal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Position contingent upon continued funding.

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering (PhD preferred), Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Biology, or a related scientific field and 5-7 years of related experience (7-10 preferred); or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex research projects and multidisciplinary scientific teams.
• Strong knowledge of musculoskeletal biology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, mechanobiology, or related research areas.
• Excellent leadership, organizational, project management, and communication skills.

Preferred:

• Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Orthopaedic Research, Cell Biology, or a related field.
• Experience with tendon, ligament, connective tissue, or musculoskeletal research.
