Inside Higher Ed
Post Doctoral Fellow - Bioengineering
Inside Higher Ed, Clemson, South Carolina, United States, 29631
Overview
Clemson University: College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences: Bioengineering Location:
Clemson, SC Open Date:
Jan 19, 2024 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 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 1 year position, with possible extensions based on performance and continuation of funding. Responsibilities
Construct a testbed to recreate physical variables relevant to marine vessel surfaces (e.g., shear forces, temperature, pressure). Work with optics experts to integrate imaging equipment. Collaborate with microbiologists to understand and achieve design specifications for microbial communities. Contribute as part of a large, fast-paced, interdisciplinary project with collaborators at multiple institutions. Perform research tasks in the Department of Bioengineering at Clemson University. Qualifications
Ph.D. in related field, e.g., Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics. Experience and skills relevant to constructing testbeds or systems for in vitro characterization, including fluidics/microfluidics design, hydrodynamics, sensor integration, automation, LabVIEW, 3D design/fabrication, etc. Understanding of, or strong interest in, biofilms and the 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 due to frequent presentations and reporting opportunities. Application Instructions
