Postdoctoral Research Associate - Engineering

Job description

Position Summary We are seeking a motivated postdoc to build and test new soft robotics surfaces that can prevent or remove biofoulants. This project will develop first principles understanding of how mechanical and chemical forces change biofouling or anticoagulation behavior through the development and testing of new multilayered soft robotics platforms. This project will involve collaborative experiments with other institutions including national labs for field testing of promising devices. Professor Cooper is the principal investigator leading the project, with strong expertise in using dynamic polymers for soft electronic devices. Job Description: Primary Duties & Responsibilities: You can learn more about our research at https://coopergroup.wustl.edu/ . Information on being a postdoc at WashU in St. Louis can be found at https://postdoc.wustl.edu/prospective-postdocs-2/ . Trains under the supervision of a faculty mentor including (but not limited to): - Manages their own project, which is expected to yield one or more publications. Develops expertise in soft robotic surface fabrication and complex surface deformations. - Supports or leads evaluation of biofouling performance...
