Two postdoctoral positions in fluid mechanics and biofuel cell

Dr. JW Hong's Nanofluidics Group at the Auburn University invites applications for two postdoctoral positions to work on projects related to microscale fluid mechanics and biological fuel cell. Our current research has focused on integrated nano/micro systems for nanomaterials processing, environmental treatment, and biotechnology/medicine.

First, for the microscale fluid mechanics, the position offers the possibility to apply the micro/nano fluidic systems in a multidisciplinary environment based on solid understanding of fluid. The applicants should have a PhD in mechanical engineering. The position requires experience in fluid mechanics, experimental design, and microfluidic system design. Second, prospective applicants for the biofuel cell should have a PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering or related subject and experiences in electrochemistry, surface chemistry and bioorganic chemistry is highly desirable. Applications including a cover letter and CV with a publication list should be sent to Dr. Hong.

Auburn University was chartered in 1856 and is the largest university in the state of Alabama, with a student enrollment of more than 23,000 and over 1,130 faculty members. U.S. News and World Report ranks Auburn 34th in Engineering among public universities. Auburn offers nearly 150 baccalaureate degree programs in 64 academic departments. The graduate school provides masters level programs in 130 areas and doctoral programs in 96 fields. The picturesque main campus of Auburn covers 1,875 acres and includes the entire southwest quadrant of the city of Auburn. The Auburn/Opelika community has an additional population of approximately 70,000, an excellent public school system and has been nationally recognized as one of the best small towns in America.
