Summary

The Center for Bioelectronics at Old Dominion University is seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Research Associate to support research in biosensors and bioelectronics for point-of-care applications. This non-permanent position focuses on the development and integration of polymeric and composite materials into point-of-care biomedical systems.

The successful candidate will contribute to: (1) Designing and implementing synthesis techniques for multifunctional polymeric films and “smart” materials; (2) Developing biosensors and bioelectronic devices, including circuit design integration for data acquisition and wireless systems; and evaluating material aging, biocompatibility, and performance in point-of-care settings. The candidate will be responsible for contributing to the development and execution of externally funded proposals and projects. The candidate will also collaborate broadly across research teams and mentor students and technicians involved in the lab’s projects.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement synthesis techniques for multifunctional polymeric films and “smart” materials

Education and/or training: 

A Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials/Polymer Science, Chemistry, Materials Engineering, or a related field is required.

Level and type of experience: 

Deep technical skills and knowledge of developing novel biosensor diagnostics using principles, materials, and structures for POCs.

Outstanding written and oral communication skills, as evidenced by a strong academic publication record and presentations at national conferences in a specific technical area.

Ability to work on multiple projects with established deliverables, milestones, timelines and requirements.

Ability to work and communicate effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, chemists, materials scientists, etc.

A solid background in principles of electrical circuits and microfabrication processes.

Experience with POC sensor development, and other circuit development techniques.

Understand the basic processing, properties and mechanics of soft materials.

Experience with technical writing in the form of manuscripts, reports, standard operating procedures, and other documentation related to research, process development and associated specifications.
