Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Position in Nanotechnology<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. SINGLE MOLECULE – SINGLE CELL SPECTROSCOPY <\/strong> Seeking a Ph.D. to support research projects in nanotechnology related to single molecule and single cell spectroscopy. This work utilizes nanometer-diameter pores through nanometer-thick membranes or quartz pipettes with nanometer-diameter orifices that are immersed in an electrolytic solution to detect single molecules for applications in protein sequencing or identifying cell secretions ex vivo. The successful applicant must have completed a Ph.D. preferably in electrical engineering, physics, biophysics, bioengineering, or molecular and cell biology with a proven capacity for world-class research that is reflected in a publication record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Considerable skill is required in implementing experiments to probe the interactions between biomolecules and abiotic nanostructures. Experience in a subset of the following disciplines is mandatory:<\/strong> aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy; micro- and nanofluidics; atomic force\/scanning probe microscopy; free-space laser optics and preferably optical tweezing; semiconductor device fabrication; high frequency, low-noise electrical measurements; interfacing computers with instrumentation using LABVIEW; and programming in MATLAB, PYTHON, C++, and\/or IGOR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Salary category: $60,000. – $100,000. dependent on qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Interested applicants should send a detailed CV, along with a list of publications, and arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation sent via email directly to Prof. Gregory Timp (gtimp@nd.edu).  In the cover letter,<\/strong> please delineate specifically how your skills can be applied to the work in this lab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. METAMATERIALS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Seeking a Ph.D. to support research projects in metamaterials. This work utilizes optical trapping (optical tweezers) to manipulate and assemble nanoparticles into artificial structures with emergent properties such as negative refractive indices. The successful applicant must have completed a Ph.D. preferably in electrical engineering or physics with a proven capacity for world-class research that is reflected in a publication record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
