Graduate Researchers: We have multiple openings for PhD Students to start in 2025. The ideal candidates will be interested in working in a diverse, interdisciplinary research group investigating the biophysical processes of tissue self-assembly. Interested students from any STEM discipline such as Bioscience, Bioengineering, Biophysics, Mathematics, and Computer Sciences are encouraged to apply. Graduate students can join the lab through multiple programs at the University of Pittsburgh including Bioengineering, Integrated Systems Biology, Computational and Systems Biology, and Computer Simulation and Modeling. Email Lance Davidson (lad43@pitt.edu) to learn more about our current and future research directions.

Undergraduate Researchers: We welcome undergraduates interested in bioengineering, cell biology, and/or developmental biology. Email Lance Davidson (lad43@pitt.edu) for details.
