The Wake Forest University School of Medicine is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and is a premier clinical and basic science research university. The WFIRM has the mission of improving patient care through the development and dissemination of novel clinical therapies for the functional repair and replacement of diseased tissues and organs.

These may include but are not limited to biomedical engineering, biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and zoology. The ideal candidate will posses training in the areas of biomaterials, immunochemistry, flow cytometry, PCR, ELISA, cell isolation and culture, and the use of animal models. Candidates must have a strong interest in translational research and preclinical development. Strong communication skills will be required due to the multi-disciplinary environment of WFIRM, and demonstrated excellence in presentation and publication of scientific results are especially sought.
