Optimization of antimicrobial use was is identified as a top priority in combating the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Yet, when one seeks medical care for an infection, clinical tools are lacking to rapidly determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral. Multi-plex nucleic acid tests to detect common pathogenic bacteria and viruses from bodily fluids are commercially available and are trusted by clinicians. However, the cost of these tests and the turnaround times required (longer than an office visit) limit how fequently they are used. A team in AMR IRG is working to develop a multi-plex protein panel and test that can address this gap while retaining performance metrics that are required for clinical adoption. We are seeking a creative, curious, motivated postdoctoral researcher with strong organizational skills to join this effort.

Job Description

• Plan and conduct experiments with the aim of producing superior, cost-effective, and user-friendly medical diagnostic tests.
• Develop technology, including protein engineering and integrated biosensor device development.

Job Requirements

• PhD in Chemical/Biomolecular/Biological Engineering or related field
