Openings

1 August 2024

 

Ph.D. and postdoctoral positions available in Laboratory of Organic Bio-Electronics (LOBE) at Purdue University, focusing on system integration design of miniaturized / portable healthcare monitoring. Project range from PCB design and testing, circuit and (force/pressure) sensor design and testing, sensory data processing, data storage, power management etc. Experience should include at least one of the following:

  • PCB design
  • Microcontroller
  • Power management
  • Low-power circuit design
  • Troubleshooting skills

The candidate should have M.S. (exceptional individuals with B.S. might be considered) in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or related field(s). Experience in sensor design, fabrication and characterization is a plus. Prior publishing in journal or conference proceeding is highly desirable.

Starting date is as soon as possible (Fall 2024), and no later than Spring 2025.

If interested, email (robertnawrocki (at) purdue (dot) edu) your C.V., a cover letter describing your research interests and experience and how these align with the position and the interest in joining LOBE. Also, include sample(s) of your published work.

1 August 2024

 

Ph.D. or postdoctoral position(s) available in Laboratory of Organic Bio-Electronics (LOBE) at Purdue University, focusing on force sensor development and characterization for biomedical applications. Project range from sensor design, characterization, modification (e.g. tailoring of resonant frequency), etc. Experience should include at least one of the following:

  • Piezoelectric materials, preferably PVdF but could also be non-polymeric piezoelectrics
  • Sensor / device characterization, including electrical and mechanical response
  • Hands-on experience in material processing
  • Biosignals (EMG, ECG, EEG, etc.) acquisition and processing

Additional experience in additive manufacturing (3D printing, electrospinning, etc.) is a plus.

Interested candidates please email (robertnawrocki (at) purdue (dot) edu) your C.V., a cover letter describing your research interests and experience and how these align with the position and the interest in joining LOBE. Also, include sample(s) of your published work.

9 November 2022

 

Ph.D. positions available in Laboratory of Organic Bio-Electronics (LOBE) at Purdue University, focusing on design, fabrication, and testing of organic neuromorphic circuits and systems. Project range from circuit and sensor design, device and system fabrication and characterization, as well as application-specific testing, including, but not limited to, soft-robotic integration, etc. Experience should include at least one of the following:

  • Organic electronics: OFETs and/or memristors
  • Neuromorphic systems (preferably spiking)
  • Medium to large scale (multi-element) circuit design, fabrication, and testing

The candidate should have M.S. (exceptional individuals with B.S. might be considered) in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or related field(s). Prior experience in at least one of the following is required: organic electronics, cleanroom fabrication, device fabrication, circuit design and testing, solution processing, and large-scale electrical circuits (organic is preferable but could also be inorganic). Experience in soft robotics is a plus. Prior publishing in journal or conference proceeding is highly desirable.

Starting date is as soon as possible (Spring 2023), and no later than Fall 2023.

Interested candidates please email (robertnawrocki (at) purdue (dot) edu) your C.V., a cover letter describing your research interests and experience and how these align with the position and the interest in joining LOBE. Also, include sample(s) of your published work.
