Postdoc openings: The Wang lab has positions available on nanostructures, nanophotonics, biochemistry and protein engineering. Applicants must have a recent PhD (within the past 3 years) from electrical engineering, physics, biochemistry or organic chemistry, or biomedical engineering (We currently don’t accept candidates whose background falls solely in the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles or thin films). Hands-on experimental capabilities are necessary. Strong written and oral communication skills are important to the candidates’ success.

Expertise of interest include:

• Theoretical and numerical photonic structure design (FDTD, or inverse design), combined with the fabrication (EBL, deposition, etching) and/or characterization (SEM, TEM, spectroscopy, fluorescence imaging).
• Solid experimental skills to detect antigens, antibodies, and nucleic acids biomarkers, including but not limited to surface chemistry, nanomaterial surface functionalization, molecular characterization (gel electrophoresis, ELISA, western blot, spectroscopy, etc.), DNA/RNA, protein and peptide design, protein modification.

 

Ph.D. position on nanostructures and nanophotonics, and biosensing. (Fall 2023 application cycle)
Positions available for strong applicants on multidisciplinary projects involving nanofabrication, nanophotonics, and biosensors. The candidates are expected to have solid hands-on experience, with a strong background in electrical engineering, optics, physics, material science, chemistry, biochemistry, or biology. Exceptional candidates with other background are also welcome. Experience in multidisciplinary research environment is a plus. The positions are expected to be made in Research Assistantship. Outstanding candidates will have the opportunity to be awarded fellowship.
Please send your resume and transcripts to wangch@asu.edu.  Please explain: (1) what particular research area you are interested and why you think you are the best fit; (2) why you think you are able to survive and thrive in a highly multidisciplinary and competitive research environment?

Note: All students need to meet English proficiency requirements. Students with degrees from US ABET accredited schools are not required to have GRE or TOEFL. The posted EE PhD admission standards are as follows:  3.5 GPA or equivalent; 90 TOEFL (80-89 TOEFL can be admitted provisionally); 6.5 IELTS; and 156 GRE Quantitative.

Undergrad researcher openings are available.
