Abraham Qavi

The Qavi Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to help develop the next generation of diagnostics for pathogens and diseases. The project sits at the intersection of optics, device fabrication, and laboratory-based diagnostic technology, with work spanning optical system hardware, clean-room fabrication, circuit design, signal processing, and data analysis. The successful candidate will join a research environment in the School of Medicine, within Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, and will contribute to the lab’s broader efforts in innovative laboratory diagnostics. The advert emphasizes strong laboratory research experience and specialized training, with particular value placed on technical work involving lasers, LEDs, optical engineering, and device fabrication. The position is supervised by Abraham Qavi, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Director of Innovative Laboratory Diagnostics at UC Irvine. The lab is seeking a candidate who can work independently while also contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary team, with opportunities to engage in research that advances diagnostic methods for a range of diseases.
