The George Washington University, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This multidisciplinary opportunity focuses on Microparticle Control and Measurement within Optofluidic Systems. The successful candidate will join a collaborative team at NIST, working on the design, construction, and modeling of novel instrumentation for measuring chemicals, cells, and organelles in microflows. The research bridges microfluidic device fabrication and biological assay development, with key focus areas including device design for passive purification, optofluidics for quantifying fluorophores and particle sizes, bio-integration for maintaining cell cultures, and benchmarking using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemistry, with at least three years of experience in microfluidic device design and control. Essential skills include clean room experience, proficiency with photolithography, and technical expertise in MATLAB, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry. U.S. citizenship is preferred. The position offers the chance to work at the intersection of engineering, chemistry, and biology, contributing to innovative measurement tools in optofluidic systems.
