Job description

Carnegie Mellon University is a private, global research university that stands among the world's most renowned education institutions. With ground-breaking brain science, path-breaking performances, creative start-ups, big data, big ambitions, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of robots, CMU doesn't imagine the future, we invent it. If you're passionate about joining a community that challenges the curious to deliver work that matters, your journey starts here!
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) ranks among the best in the country. Our research programs are at the forefront of the technologies that have changed the world we live in. Our interdisciplinary approach to education and research allows faculty and student across the university and beyond to collaborate on problems that have a significant impact on the world around us.
Carnegie Mellon University's department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is searching for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on an interdisciplinary project that involves designing microfabricated biomedical sensors and the readout circuitry for recording electrophysiology and electrochemical signals from biological samples. The overarching goal of the project is to detect cancer biomarkers from urine samples using advancements in synthetic biology. The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for designing the sensors, the microfabrication process and the backend readout circuitry and system-level packaging. The postdoctoral associate will also work with other researchers at CMU and also industry members of the project to integrate the sensor with the microfluidic sample delivery system and apply the surface chemistry for the overall system integration. In particular, the postdoctoral associate is expected to perform benchtop testing of the system to benchmark its performance.
This position offers a unique opportunity to work on a multi-disciplinary project with a team of scientists and engineers and experts in commercialization and translational research. This project provides a vibrant learning environment for all the trainees. The PI is committed to the professional development of the postdoc associate in addition to their technical excellence.
Core Responsibilities:
  • Responsible for performing independent research
  • Responsible for maintaining laboratory equipment used to perform research
  • Responsible for reporting progress to project advisor, research collaborators, and
    funding sponsors
  • Responsible for documenting research accomplishments and reporting work in a peer-
    reviewed journal
  • Other duties as assigned.

Adaptability, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within Carnegie Mellon University. We are in search of a team member who can effectively interact with a varied population of internal and external partners at a high level of integrity. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.
Desired skills:
  • Prior experience with potentiostat systems
  • Background in neural engineering
  • Experience with designing, packaging and testing neural implants
  • Expertise in designing instrumentation for electrical stimulation of cells such as nerve cells

Qualifications:
  • PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Nano/microfabrication experience
  • Prior experience with designing and testing in vitro or implantable sensors
  • Prior experience with printed circuit board prototyping
  • Basic data analysis using MATLAB or Python
  • Experience with microcontrollers
  • Problem solving skills and out of the box thinking
  • A combination of education and relevant experience from which comparable knowledge is demonstrated may be considered.

Professional development opportunities:
  • Working with a large team of researchers from different backgrounds
  • Contributing to transformative research that is intended to be translated into clinical practice
  • Mentoring graduate and undergraduate students

Joining the CMU team opens the door to an array of exceptional benefits.
Benefits eligible employees enjoy a wide array of benefits including comprehensive medical, prescription, dental, and vision insurance as well as a generous retirement savings program with employer contributions. Unlock your potential with tuition benefits, take well-deserved breaks with ample paid time off and observed holidays, and rest easy with life and accidental death and disability insurance.
Additional perks include a free Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus pass, access to our Family Concierge Team to help navigate childcare needs, fitness center access, and much more!
