Internships and Sabbaticals in Regenerative Engineering:

These awards aim to promote the exchange of ideas, experiences, and competencies to enhance the development of the regenerative engineering field and workforce. Funds will be used to help offset living expenses for students that go on to engage in internships at companies affiliated with CARE, faculty from non-CARE institutions that are interested in doing a sabbatical on regenerative engineering research with a CARE member, industry representatives that are interested in collaborations with CARE.

For more information concerning award opportunities, please contact Professor Ameer directly at g-ameer@northwestern.edu

Internship and Sabbatical Opportunities:

Visiting Sabbaticals at CARE

Regenerative Engineering Sabbatical Training Track (RESTrT)

The Center for Advanced Regenerative Engineering (CARE) invites faculty in bioengineering-related disciplines to join CARE for a mini-sabbatical as a visiting faculty member to participate in regenerative engineering research funded by the National Science Foundation. Participants will contribute to “EFRI-CEE: Epigenetic Cell Reprogramming In Situ: A Novel Tool for Regenerative Engineering," the goal of which is to develop new concepts and tools for enhancing cellular plasticity by examining the role of chromatin structure as a regulator
of non-replicative cell adaptability through the exploration of the transcriptional landscape.

The successful candidate will have an opportunity to:
1) Gain access to and training on specialized instrumentation in the laboratories of the PIs.
2) Gain access and training at core facilities on campus
3) Purchase supplies and materials as necessary to obtain preliminary data that they can use
to write proposals in collaboration with EFRI PIs
4) Receive mentorship and career advice from the EFRI PIs through weekly communications
5) A monthly stipend will be provided. Visiting appointment length and start date are flexible.
