Clemson University MBA Programs
Post Doctoral Fellow - Bioengineering
Clemson University MBA Programs, Clemson, South Carolina, United States, 29631
Overview
A highly motivated postdoctoral research associate is sought for constructing a testbed that recreates several physical variables relevant to the surfaces of marine vessels, including shear forces, temperature, and pressure. The experimental results from the testbed will guide the design of beneficial microbial communities. The postdoc will work closely with optics experts to integrate cutting‑edge imaging equipment and with microbiologists to understand and achieve design specifications. Overall, the role requires key work as part of a large, fast‑paced, interdisciplinary project with collaborators at multiple institutions. The position is in the Department of Bioengineering at Clemson University. The initial offer is for a one‑year position, with possible extensions based on performance and continuation of funding. Responsibilities
Build and operate a testbed that recreates physical variables relevant to marine vessel surfaces (shear forces, temperature, pressure). Integrate cutting‑edge imaging equipment with optics experts. Design and fabricate fluidic/microfluidic systems, sensors, automation, and LabVIEW software. Collaborate with microbiologists to fabricate and characterize microbial communities and biofilms. Progress research projects independently and communicate progress through presentations and reports. Qualifications
Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field. Experience in constructing testbeds or systems for in vitro characterization, fluidics/microfluidics design, hydrodynamics, sensor integration, automation, LabVIEW, 3D design/fabrication. Understanding or strong interest in biofilms and engineering of microbial communities. Demonstrated ability to work in groups on integrated tasks, independently solve problems, and progress on challenging research endeavors in a timely fashion. Excellent communication skills. Ability to present and report frequently. Application Instructions
