Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistant Position
The MicroTechnology (µTech) Lab in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, is looking for motivated Ph.D. students to join the team as early as Spring 2022. The admitted students will work with Dr. Wen Li in design, development and characterization of biomedical microelectromechanical systems (bioMEMS), micro/nanosensors and sensing systems for wearable and implantable biomedical systems, neural interfaces, and point-of-care monitoring. The admitted students will be key members of a multidisciplinary, collaborative team of academic and industrial researchers with expertise in material science and engineering, wireless biomedical electronics, neuroscience, and infectious diseases.
To qualify, the candidates should hold a B.S. or M.S. in the area of electrical engineering, microelectronics, biomedical engineering, or equivalent. Experience in bioMEMS and biomedical devices is highly desired. Important qualities of successful candidates are enthusiasm, creativity, as well as good hands-on and problem-solving skills. The project is in collaboration with other researchers and industry and thus excellent cooperation and social abilities are highly important. Good communication skills in English are required as English is the primary language in our laboratory.
Earliest Start Date: Jan. 1st, 2022
To apply, please email Dr. Wen Li (wenli@msu.edu) with the following documents: 1) Resume, 2) Official undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) transcripts, 3) Selected publications (if applicable).
A Full-time Postdoctoral Position in Electrochemical Sensor and Sensing Electronics
The MicroTechnology Laboratory at Michigan State University is looking for a postdoctoral candidate who can lead and fruitfully contribute to our research on development of electrochemical sensor and sensing systems for detecting various analytes, such as neurotransmitters, heavy metals, etc., for applications in healthcare, food science, and environmental monitoring. The postdoctoral candidate will be leading the ongoing research projects in collaboration with academic and industrial researchers, which aim at developing next-generation, miniaturized sensors and sensing technologies for biomedical applications. The post-doc will also be responsible for reporting and presenting your research results at project meetings, supporting/training the involved PhD students, and publishing new research results at both conferences and in high impact scientific journals.
To qualify, the candidate should hold a PhD degree in the area of electrical engineering, microdevices, biomedical electronics, or equivalent. Extensive experience within the sensor and sensing electronics field is desired. The successful candidate will have an outstanding academic track-record and have published first-authored papers in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals. Important qualities are enthusiasm, to be able to drive and conclude projects independently, take own initiatives and discuss/develop own ideas, be creative and have a problem-solving ability. Having the flexibility to elaborate on proposed research ideas that are deemed relevant in a collaborative working environment is another important qualification the successful candidate should have. The project is in collaboration with other researchers and industry and thus excellent cooperation and social abilities are highly important. Good communication skills in English are required as English is the primary language in our laboratory.
