The soft matter and microfluidics group at Mayo Clinic, led by Dr. Connie Chang, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop innovative microfluidic technologies for molecular diagnostics and biomedical applications.
The ideal candidate will have expertise in microfluidics and/or molecular biology, with an interest in integrating molecular biology workflows into miniaturized, automated microfluidic systems. In particular, we are interested in candidates with experience in drop-based (droplet) microfluidics and the ability to perform or develop molecular biology assays within droplets.
Research areas include:- Microfluidics and drop-based/droplet microfluidics
- Disease diagnostics and biomarker detection
- RNA, DNA, and protein detection, and quantification
- Molecular biology in droplet-based microfluidic systems
- Miniaturization and automation of molecular bioassays
- Integration of sample preparation, amplification, detection, and quantification on microfluidic platforms
- Development of novel microfluidic technologies for high-throughput and single-cell/molecular analysis
Candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas are particularly encouraged to apply: droplet microfluidics, molecular biology, nucleic acid amplification, RNA/DNA analysis, protein assays, molecular diagnostics, assay development, microfluidic device fabrication, or integration of biological assays with microfluidic platforms.
The position offers an opportunity to work at the interface of microfluidics, molecular biology, and biomedical diagnostics, developing new approaches for rapid, sensitive, and miniaturized molecular analysis.
Chang lab at Mayo Clinic:- We prioritize teamwork and foster a culture of diversity, collaboration, respect, and inclusivity within a supportive laboratory environment.
- Opportunities for national and international collaborations and participation in conferences.
- Diverse and supportive work environment at the #1 hospital in the world.
- Access to state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced clinical diagnostics, BSL-2/BSL-3 laboratories, clean rooms, core facilities: imaging, biomolecular analysis, materials characterization, division of engineering, bioinformatics, biostatistics, and specimen processing.
