About this position

This research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Maryland focuses on genetic engineering of robust microbial chassis for advanced sensing applications. The project is centered on building bi-directional communication between microbes and abiotic substrates using a synthetic biology approach, with the broader goal of enabling fieldable living materials.

The selected researcher will lead independent research in biotechnology (non-medical) and contribute to ongoing work in the Synthetic Biology Tools Branch. The position also connects to related efforts in biomaterials, genetic engineering, automation, and synthetic biology. The work is hands-on and research-intensive, involving the development of novel microbial chassis, high-throughput assays, and state-of-the-art synthetic biology workflows.

The role is designed for someone who can work across disciplines, contribute to technical reports, present findings, and participate in publications and patents. The research environment is closely tied to ARL’s broader mission and the Human Research and Engineering Directorate, which supports advanced research and development in areas relevant to future Army capabilities.

The listed ARL advisor for this opportunity is Bryn Adams.

Funding details

Monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience; initial appointment is for 12 months and may be renewed contingent on availability of funds.
