Postdoctoral Associate (Weiss Lab)

Key Responsibilities: System Development: Design and iterate custom-built single-molecule measurement platforms SWNT FET biosensors. Hardware Integration: Apply basic electrical engineering principles to interface biological sensors with low-noise, data acquisition hardware. Data Acquisition: Execute complex experiments involving high-bandwidth electrical measurements and advanced microscopy imaging (i.e., AFM and SEM)Signal Processing: Develop pipelines to extract biological signals from noisy data sets using Python, MATLAB, and/or LabVIEW.Collaboration: Work alongside biologists to translate raw sensor data into insights explaining the mechanisms governing how enzymes and cells work. In addition, you will be responsible for maintaining laboratory notebooks, handling confidential data, and following safety regulations.

What We Offer: Access to state-of-the-art facilities for imaging and fabrication. A highly collaborative environment where chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering are not siloed. Mentorship focused on academic publication, proposal writing, and potential intellectual property/patent development Ph. D. degree or equivalent in a relevant field (e.g., chemistry, electrical or biomedical engineering, etc.) and a minimum of 5 years of relevant research experience. Please provide contact information for three professional references, a CV with a full list of publications, and a cover letter detailing your experience in building versus using instrumentation.
