As a postdoctoral fellow in the Jain Lab at IIT Gandhinagar, your role would be to lead multiple projects design, simulate, and manufacture automated fluidic/microfluidic systems for ex vivo organ perfusion and cancer diagnostic applications. Your day-to-day activities may include integrating optical sensors, pumps, and heating systems into functional medical devices, performing multi-physics simulations to optimize fluid dynamics and mass transport within devices, draft patent applications and technical documentation for commercial translation, and mentor graduate students in mechanical design, fabrication, and instrumentation, among others. You may also need to collaborate with surgeons/oncologists to source and process clinical tissue samples, engineers/designers to develop medical devices, or industry/startup partners to develop translatable technologies. Additionally, you may be required to support lab development activities such as purchasing equipment and supporting the development of new protocols and processes for the lab.
