**Postdoctoral Fellow positions in Electrochemical Biosensor Lab - [Digital Microfluidics] / [Wearables & implantable] / [Infectious disease]**

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellows to join Dr. Leyla Soleymani’s research team at McMaster University for the development of electrochemical, point-of-care biosensors.

The roles will involve working closely with cross-functional teams within both academia and industry to translate research findings into practical solutions. This is an exceptional opportunity for individuals with a background in electrochemistry, bioengineering, biosensing, microfluidics, or related fields to make significant contributions in advancing healthcare technologies.

General responsibilities:

- Perform research in assay design, device fabrication, and characterization of electrochemical biosensors.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary team members and stakeholders to integrate findings into diagnostic platforms.
- Plan and perform experiments, analyze experimental data, disseminate knowledge in the form of reports/presentations, and contribute to publications.
- Mentor graduate and undergraduate lab members involved in related research projects.
- Liaise with industry and external partners.
- Participate in commercialization activities.

General qualifications:

- PhD obtained in the last two years in Engineering, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related fields.
- Previous research experience in at least two of the following areas: antibody and/or nucleic acid-based biosensing, electrochemistry, microfluidics, or micro/nano fabrication.
- Proficiency in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing.
- Demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusivity.

The following project-specific qualifications are beneficial:

- Digital Microfluidics (DMF) - Experience with microfluidics or manipulating surface properties for the controlled interaction of fluids is desirable. Familiarity with electronic components and PCBs is also beneficial.
- Wearables & implantables - Design and fabrication skills for biocompatible materials such as hydrogels and/or experience in developing biosensors for continuous monitoring of physiological parameters is advantageous. Additionally, experience with regulatory/ethical requirements for in-vivo use of medical devices would be beneficial.
- In-vitro diagnostics for infectious disease - Understanding of biology, microbiology, immunology, and/or infectious diseases to design biosensors targeting specific viral or bacterial pathogens is an asset. Additionally, experience in handling infectious agents safely and working in a biosafety level 2 or higher laboratory environment is desirable.

We value a diverse range of skills, backgrounds, and personality traits and aim to attract a diverse group of researchers to our lab. We value willingness to collaborate within the lab and with external researchers, to take initiative, and to work toward continuous improvement. We welcome applicants that feel they fit with our values and can enthusiastically contribute to a supportive and a collaborative team environment.
