About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Material Measurement Laboratory (MML), is seeking a Senior Research Fellow for the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This postdoctoral-level opportunity is ideal for researchers interested in building the infrastructure for Biofoundries and Cloud Laboratories, with a mission to enable distributed biomanufacturing through reliable, automated systems. The successful candidate will focus on developing transferable cell expansion processes and assay performance specifications, ensuring consistent production of living-cell reference materials across the U.S. bioeconomy.

Key responsibilities include translating experimental designs into code for large-scale laboratory instrumentation such as liquid handlers and automated microscopes, managing mammalian cell cultures (especially iPSCs), and creating measurement infrastructure for next-generation platform manufacturing. The role also involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to publish open-science research.

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Cell Biology, or Synthetic Biology, with deep experience in mammalian cell culture and iPSCs, as well as a proven track record in programming laboratory automation systems. Eligibility for a Department of Commerce background check is required. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of stem cell biology and robotic automation, contributing to the advancement of biomanufacturing and open science.

For more information and to apply, visit the application link provided. The position is based in Washington, DC, United States, and is supervised by Professor David Broniatowski at George Washington University.

Funding details

The position is part of the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program at The George Washington University. Specific funding details, stipend, or benefits are not mentioned in the announcement.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Cell Biology, or Synthetic Biology. They should have deep experience with mammalian cell culture, particularly induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and a proven track record in programming laboratory automation systems. Candidates must also be eligible to obtain a Department of Commerce background check for facility access.
