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.
