Dartmouth College:

Thayer School of Engineering Location Hanover, NH Open Date Dec 19, 2025 Description Dartmouth College invites applications for a Guarini Dean's Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Thayer School of Engineering. This fellowship supports scholars whose research addresses biomaterials and tissue engineering for regenerative medicine. We particularly welcome applicants whose work intersects musculoskeletal regeneration, neuromuscular stimulation platforms, engineered skeletal muscle models, electroactive or bioresponsive biomaterials, or biochemical/mechanical bone-muscle crosstalk. The fellowship promotes student and faculty diversity at Dartmouth and throughout higher education by supporting early-career scholars committed to advancing inclusive access in academia. Applicants will be selected on the basis of their academic achievement, promise in research and teaching, and demonstrated commitment to academic excellence in an environment that is welcoming to all. This is a two-year residential fellowship, with one course taught in the second year. Fellows are expected to pursue research activities while participating fully in the intellectual life of Thayer and the broader Dartmouth community. Fellows receive an annual stipend of approximately $67,850 plus benefits and an allocation for research expenses (exact funding levels will be set at the time of offer). Guarini Dean's Postdoctoral Fellows are part of the Provost's Fellowship Program, a multidisciplinary cohort of approximately ten predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars who share a commitment to increasing inclusive access in their disciplines and higher education. Fellows participate together in mentoring and professional development programming, including guidance in preparing for faculty careers. Our mentoring philosophy emphasizes multi-mentor advising, technical rigor, proposal development, and holistic career planning. The Guarini Fellow will receive structured, individualized mentoring guided by the following team: Katherine Hixon, Ph.D. (tissue engineering, regenerative biomaterials)

• Assistant Professor of Engineering and Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics, Dr. Hixon will serve as the Lead Mentor, focusing on scaffold design, translational models, and academic/clinical collaboration. Alexander Boys, Ph.D.(biomaterials synthesis and characterization)
• Assistant Professor of Engineering, Dr. Boys will serve as the Supporting Mentor, offering expertise in tailoring and analyzing materials for biomedical use, with strengths in nanoscale and compositional approaches. Eric Henderson, M.D.(orthopaedics and clinical translation)
• Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Adjunct Associate Professor of Engineering, Dr.

Henderson will serve as the Clinical Collaborator, providing insight into skeletal biology and clinician-scientist perspective, strengthening in vivo relevance and pathways to impact. This mentoring structure provides complementary perspectives across engineering design, material science, and clinical translation, ensuring the fellow develops the technical depth, proposal experience, and ...For full information see follow application link.
