| Job description | We seek an outstanding post-doctoral researcher or research associate to join a large team that is developing advanced optical biosensors for high-throughput protein profiling. The candidate will be responsible for the implementation of integrated micro-optical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors. This research forms part of a collaboration between four separate laboratories in Engineering and Medicine at McGill University and at Sherbrooke University, and unites experts in photonics, microfluidics, biochemistry and protein profiling. Major activities Design of integrated micro-optical SPR system, incorporating diffractive and refractive micro-optics Coordination of system fabrication in local microfabrication facility, followed by system assembly Characterization and test Collaboration with researchers in microfluidics and protein profiling to deliver complete system for field trials More information on our group can be found at: |
