Doctoral and Postdoctoral Positions in Electromicrofluidics at Kansas State University
Kansas State University offers exciting opportunities for doctoral and postdoctoral positions in the field of electromicrofluidics. Dr. Shih-Kang Fan’s research is at the forefront of developing an electromicrofluidic (EMF) platform that integrates cutting-edge technologies like electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) and dielectrophoresis (DEP) to manipulate a wide range of objects, from droplets with varying electric properties to particles, cells, emulsions, and even monomers and polymers. This research spans adjustable geometries, including deformable droplets and continuous liquid columns, at different scales, from millimeters to nanometers.
Eligibility: We are looking for prospective lab members who are motivated, have clear objectives for joining our lab, and a strong interest in the specific research directions and projects within electromicrofluidics. Relevant experience or coursework related to our research is a plus. We encourage candidates with backgrounds in biology and biomedicine, materials science, chemical engineering, polymer and synthetic chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering to apply.
Required Documents: To apply for the doctoral or postdoctoral positions, please submit the following materials to Dr. Shih-Kang Fan at skfan@ksu.edu with “Prospective Lab Member” as the email subject line:
- Your CV
- A brief statement of interest (one page) that covers:
- Your motivations and objectives for joining our lab
- The specific research direction(s) or project(s) you are interested in
- Any relevant experience or coursework related to our research
How to Apply: Interested candidates should reach out to Dr. Shih-Kang Fan at skfan@ksu.edu or Dr. Ding at ingd@ksu.edu to express their interest in joining the lab. Applications will be reviewed promptly, and candidates whose profiles closely align with our lab’s mission will be contacted for an interview.
Last Date: Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and preference will be given to candidates with relevant backgrounds. Therefore, it is recommended to apply as soon as possible to be considered for these exciting positions in electromicrofluidics at Kansas State University.
