Job description

Description
The Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) and Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University invite applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the BioMEMS Laboratory led by Tza-Huei "Jeff" Wang (For information about the lab, see: https://me.jhu.edu/thwang/). We seek a highly motivated, independent researcher to lead scientific efforts and technology development on microfluidic-based in vitro diagnostics for bloodstream infections under an NIH-funded project.
Key Responsibilities
• Independently lead and collaborate on research projects spanning human infectious diseases, especially bacterial bloodstream infections and antimicrobial resistance.
• Design, execute, and troubleshoot experiments; develop and validate nucleic acid and microbiological assays for diagnostics.
• Contribute to the development, prototyping, and testing of microfluidic devices and related workflows.
• Help advance technologies toward clinical laboratory implementation and regulatory submissions (e.g., FDA EUA/510(k)).
• Mentor and supervise graduate and undergraduate students.
• Prepare progress reports and present results to collaborators and sponsors.
• Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals.
• Contribute to competitive grant and contract proposals to federal agencies (e.g., NIH).
• Develop, implement, and maintain laboratory standard operating procedures and biosafety practices at the BSL-2 level.
Qualifications
• Ph.D. in microbiology, infectious diseases, biomedical engineering, bioengineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated track record in the in vitro diagnosis of human and/or animal infectious diseases.
• Experience working in BSL-2 laboratories, including safe handling of blood samples and infectious materials.
• Expertise in microbiological assays (e.g., culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing).
• Expertise in molecular diagnostics (e.g., PCR, digital PCR, LAMP, RPA, CRISPR-based assays).
• Experience designing, fabricating, and testing microfluidic devices and platforms (e.g., cleanroom microfabrication, laser cutting, thermoforming, 3D printing) and in microscopy-based characterization.
• Proficiency in data analysis and computational tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or equivalent).
• Strong written and oral communication skills and a record of publishing and presenting research.

About Johns Hopkins University

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Gilman believed that teaching and research go hand in hand—that success in one depends on success in the other—and that a modern university must do both well. He also believed that sharing our knowledge and discoveries would help make the world a better place. In 145 years, we haven’t strayed from that vision. This is still a destination for excellent, ambitious scholars and a world leader in teaching and research. Distinguished professors mentor students in the arts and music, humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering, international studies, education, business, and the health professions. Those same faculty members, along with their colleagues at the university’s Applied Physics Laboratory, have made us the nation’s leader in federal research and development funding every year since 1979. That’s a fitting distinction for America’s first research university, a place that has revolutionized higher education in the U.S. and continues to bring knowledge and discoveries to the world.
