Perlman Lung Mechanics Lab

Possible Positions
Ph.D. or postoctoral positions for individuals interested in helping to understanding and devising new therapies for acute lung injury.

Possible Projects
•Investigating the physiological effects of lowering surface tension in injured lungs.
•Investigating the mechanical mechanism of spatial propagation of VILI throughout lungs.
•Investigating the biophysical mechanism through which sulforhodmine B lowers surface tension in the lungs.

Requirements
•Ph.D. applicants must hold an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. A master's degree; background in cardiopulmonary mechanics or physiology; and research experience are desirable but not required.
•Postdoctoral applicant should have training in engineering physiology or biophysics.

Environment
Stevens, in Hoboken, NJ, provides a multidisciplinary research training environment. The beautiful campus is located on the Hudson River, directly opposite and 10 minutes by train from lower Manhattan.

Contact
Interested applicants should email Dr. Perlman at cperlman@stevens.edu, and attach a C.V.
