About this position
Michigan Technological University is hiring a Research Scientist in the Health Research Institute (HRI), based in Houghton, Michigan, United States.
This is a staff, full-time research position focused on bioprocessing and process analytical technologies (PAT), or on using atomic force microscopy (AFM) with biological material. The role is closely connected to the Heldt Bioseparations Laboratory and includes mentorship, collaboration, and the opportunity to help build an externally funded research program.
The post is especially relevant for researchers with interests in chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, biological engineering, biologics, gene therapy, and mRNA technologies. The university also notes broader translational health research themes, including advanced wound care materials, vaccine and gene therapy manufacturing, and medical image analysis.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in chemical engineering, biological engineering, biomedical engineering, or a closely related field is required. Applicants should have experience with upstream or downstream unit operations, PAT, or AFM characterization, plus a record of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Strong lab skills, independent working ability, and teamwork are expected. Desirable experience includes postdoctoral work, gene therapy vectors, AFM, mentoring, and team leadership.
Funding and conditions: the minimum salary is $80,000 per year, with final salary depending on experience and qualifications. The appointment is contingent on continued external funding. Applicants must be eligible to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.
Deadline: applications close on 2026-07-31 (ensured consideration date).
How to apply: review the full job criteria, then apply through the university application link. Make sure your CV, research background, and relevant publications demonstrate fit with bioprocessing or AFM. Confirm U.S. work eligibility before submitting.
