[Karl F Böhringer]

Please post this announcement to the appropriate mailing list. Thank you!

Positions Available - Postdoctoral Researcher
University of Washington, Seattle
MEMS Laboratory

Overview

Prof. Karl Böhringer’s MEMS laboratory is 
inviting applications for postdoctoral research
positions beginning in Summer/Autumn 2008 in the 
area of microfabrication and microfluidics.
The first position aims at developing novel 
sample holders for transmission electron
microscopy. This project is a close collaboration 
with a local business, Hummingbird Scientific.
Exceptional opportunities exist to participate in 
break-through molecular-scale imaging and to
play a crucial role at a successful start-up company.

Additional positions may be available in the 
areas of biosensors, single cell monitoring,
microfluidics, self-assembly, and related areas. Please check in again soon.

Appointments will be for one year with the 
possibility of reappointment on an annual basis in
accordance with performance and applicable 
personnel policies. Salary is dependent on
qualifications.

Requirements

Applicants must have earned a doctoral degree in 
Electrical Engineering, Materials Science,
Chemistry, Physics, or related engineering 
disciplines in 2005 or later. Expertise in
microfabrication, knowledge of microfluidics, 
experience with Solid Works or other CAD
systems, strong communication skills, good 
problem solving skills, independent thinking, and
willingness to travel are required. Experience 
with thin films, TEM and SEM operation, FEA
mechanical and thermal modeling, and LabView 
programming are also strongly desired.

Responsibilities

Design, build and test various microfluidic 
devices for use in next-generation transmission
electron microscopes for nano or Angstrom scale 
imaging of chemical or biochemical
processes. Analytical modeling of microfluidic 
systems. Writing of scientific publications and
grant proposals. Mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students.

Application

Interested individuals should send their CV, one 
representative publication, and a list of three
references (with e-mail addresses and phone numbers) to Prof. Karl Böhringer,
karl at ee.washington.edu.
