Position

Postdocs

The Zhang’s Group is currently seeking two motivated and talented scientists and engineers to join the group immediately for developing nanopore sensors for liquid biopsy.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry, Physics, Bioengineering, or related areas, and have a strong background in Analytical Chemistry, Materials Science, Physical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Electrophysiology, Biosensor, or Bioengineering. and other related fields are encouraged to apply. Candidates should be capable of working independently or with others, assisting the mentorship of a small team of students, and preferably having a strong record of publication. In addition to the research projects, other duties of the position include: helping in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students; verbal communication with the principal investigator, research group, and collaborators; and presenting research at scientific meetings.

Desirable research experience:

• Biosensing
• Nanopore sequencing
• Single pore ion transport measurement
• 2D materials research
• Organic Synthesis

Graduate Students

There are multiple openings for graduate students with an intended start date of fall 2023. If interested, please apply to the Ph.D. program in the Center for Computational and Integrative Biology / M.S. program in the Department of Chemistry and specify your interest in working in the Zhang Research Group within your application materials.

Please note that reaching out to express interest will have no bearing on your likelihood of being admitted, and I am generally unable to respond to individual inquiries, particularly if they are already answered on this website.

Undergraduates

Starting in the fall of 2023, there will be several projects available for undergraduate students at Rutgers University who are interested in pursuing research opportunities in the Zhang Research Group.
