Postdoctoral Fellow
Our group is seeking interested candidates for a postdoctoral fellow. The position is available immediately and will be focused on a long-term funded project from the United States Department of Agriculture focused on detection of food borne pathogens and molecules of interest in biosecurity using a variety of techniques.
Of particular interest is continuing work using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) focused on lanthanide-antibody tags (similar to those used in CyTOF). We have currently built a custom designed LIBs instrument and we are interested in driving a hand held LIBS instrument that might be used for detection of toxins, contaminants and molecules of interest in the biosecurity domain.
The candidate might have a background in biochemistry or chemistry, or mechanical, electrical or chemical engineering and we would consider all these areas as this is a highly interdisciplinary project within an interdisciplinary group.
Salary will be commensurate with experience and will adhere to current NIH guidelines. Purdue University offers a competitive salary and benefits package. Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The position is available immediately and begins on a mutually agreed upon date
The position will be within the Basic Medical Sciences department and Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University on the main West Lafayette, Indiana campus.
