Candidates with expertise in lab on a chip, biosensing, and molecular diagnostic assays such as DNA amplification/sequencing, microarrays, and paper devices are strongly preferred; however, candidates with extensive experience in one of the following areas will also be considered: microfluidics, optics, nanoplasmonics, microfabrication, and MEMS. Successful candidates will join an interdisciplinary and collaborative team working with biologists and pathologists in CALS at NCSU as well as collaborators at Duke and UNC in the research triangle area.

Job responsibilities include:

•The candidate is expected to independently lead and execute the research projects;

•Actively participate and involve in collaborative research;

•Supervise undergraduate research activity in the group;

•Write manuscripts and proposals (if needed) independently.
