About this position

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University is seeking a Post Doctoral Scholar to join a research team working in analytical spectroscopy. The project centers on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), with a particular emphasis on characterizing the Raman signal enhancement of designed nanostructures for the detection of individual protein molecules.

The scholar will work on determining both the magnitude of the signal obtainable and its reproducibility, combining independent and collaborative research with the principal investigator and the broader team. The role includes designing and conducting experiments, performing laboratory, field-based, or computational research, and analyzing data using advanced techniques and tools. Depending on the focus of the project, research activities may include spectroscopic measurements, modeling of plasmonic enhancement, method development, and statistical analysis.

In addition to core experimental and analytical work, the position involves contributing to manuscripts, conference presentations, and broader dissemination of results. The scholar may also help develop new research approaches and methodologies, contribute to external funding proposals, maintain research tools or software systems where applicable, and collaborate with internal and external partners. The role also includes mentoring undergraduate and graduate students and supporting a collaborative research environment within the group.

The position is based at McPherson Chemical Laboratory at Ohio State, within a large and resource-rich College of Arts and Sciences that includes numerous departments and research centers.
