We are seeking a Research Assistant to work on research projects involving electrochemical and optical assay development, sensor fabrication, and integration into novel diagnostic platforms. Reporting to the Senior Engineer, you will learn the microfabrication techniques used within the group in order to contribute to the Microfabrication of devices with low sample volume consumption, rapid sample-to-results and high-throughput. Specifically, microfluidics and the integration of multiple and multiplexed sensitive detection schemes into one device are the main challenges that will need to be addressed. In this role, you will have an opportunity to learn new skills, contribute to Electro-chemical assay development, and contribute intellectually to the project within a team-oriented environment with other scientists and staff at the Institute.
