美国新罕布什尔大学博士后职位招聘–工程或物理科学方向

Summary of Position:

Our BIO-SENS (Bio-Inspired On-demand Strategies for Engineering Nanostructured Sensors) team, a National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR team led by University of New Hampshire (UNH) is looking for a new post doctoral member for our leadership team. The team has active members at Auburn University, University of New England, University of Wyoming, and University of Maine.

The focus of the team is on developing engineering principles to guide on-demand biosensor design towards Industry 4.0 applications. The selected postdoctoral researcher will become part of the BIO-SENS leadership team, engage with industrial partners, and get experience managing a research budget.

The specific postdoctoral researcher will be hosted by the Surface Enhanced Electrochemical Diagnostic Sensors (SEEDS Lab) and mentored by Prof. Jeffrey M Halpern at the University of New Hampshire.

The postdoctoral research is expected to work extensively on surface modification of proteins and the assessment of stimulus response of a dynamic stimuli-responsive surface protein with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The candidate should provide a 2-page research statement focused on the minimum and preferred qualifications.

In addition, this research will be coupled with a multi-tiered workforce development plan integrated throughout the project that includes training for a new biotechnology workforce in AL, ME, NH, and WY.

We expect the postdoctoral scholar to be a partner in some of these activities, especially in the diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility work centered around training the new biotechnology industry workforce.

The candidate is expected to provide a 1-page DEIA statement on their experience and vision
For full consideration, please include:

· Resume/curriculum vitae
· 2-page research statement focusing on your experience on necessary skills
· 1-page DEI/Workforce Development Statement including your experience and vision
· Three references that can speak to these documents
