Microfluidics Job information

What are microfluidics jobs?

Microfluidics jobs involve working with the science and technology of systems that process or manipulate small amounts of fluids, typically on the microliter to picoliter scale, using channels with dimensions of tens to hundreds of micrometers. Professionals in this field may design, develop, and test microfluidic devices used in applications such as medical diagnostics, drug development, and environmental monitoring. These roles can be found in academic research, biotechnology companies, and medical device manufacturing, often requiring expertise in engineering, chemistry, or biology.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a microfluidics job, and why are they important?

To thrive in a microfluidics job, you need a background in engineering, physics, or biology, with expertise in fluid dynamics, microfabrication, and device design, typically supported by a relevant degree (such as a BS, MS, or PhD). Familiarity with CAD software, cleanroom processes, photolithography, and analytical instrumentation is essential, as are certifications in laboratory safety or quality management. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are crucial for innovating and troubleshooting in this interdisciplinary field. These skills ensure the successful development and optimization of microfluidic devices for applications in diagnostics, research, and industry.

What are the typical challenges faced by professionals working in microfluidics, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in microfluidics often encounter challenges such as maintaining precise control over fluid flow at the microscale, integrating multidisciplinary knowledge (e.g., biology, engineering, chemistry), and troubleshooting device fabrication issues. Close collaboration with cross-functional teams and continual upskilling in areas like CAD design and microfabrication are crucial to overcoming these obstacles. Additionally, effective communication with researchers and engineers helps address design and testing challenges, fostering innovation and efficient problem-solving.

Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
The Associate Scientist is a specialist in the formulation and characterization of particulate based drug delivery systems including lipid and polymeric nanoparticles. The Associate Scientist participates in the development and optimization of formulations to enable cell and tissue targeting contributing to the development of novel therapeutics. They perform hands-on experiments in a laboratory setting, leading the execution of upstream (buffer prep, emulsification, microfluidics) and downstream (buffer exchange, concentration, etc.) formulation development activities. The Associate Scientist is a team player who has laboratory and technical experience with a high attention to detail and desire to work in a fast-paced environment and contribute to a result orientated team.
Role and Responsibilities
  • Assist in development and optimization of particulate based drug delivery systems to enable delivery of nucleic acids, peptides and small molecules for cell and tissue targeting by:
  • Preparing polymeric and lipid-based microsphere and nanoparticle formulations via microfluidics, emulsification, etc.
  • Purification and downstream processing of formulations via dialysis, centrifugation and tangential flow filtration
  • Characterization of formulations including particle size analysis, zeta potential, drug content, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release
  • Evaluating short term stability of frozen and lyophilized formulations to support proof of concept animal studies.
  • Collaborate with project team(s) to define and execute project plans to facilitate the development and optimization of formulations and processes to support feasibility and pre-clinical studies.
  • Work collaboratively across multiple departments (Operations, Analytical Services, Process Development) to facilitate project teams' ability to successfully meet project objectives in a timely and organized fashion.
  • Prepare and review documents including experimental methods, batch records, SOPs, and reports.
  • Maintain detailed laboratory notebook.
  • Adhere to Phosphorex's Environmental Health and Safety practices and SOPs to maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment free of safety hazards.
