Post-doctoral researcher - Biomimetics / Composites : Riverside, CA, United States

Postdoctoral research position openings in the area of biomimetics and biological composite materials. We are a research group investigating ultrastructure-mechanical property relationships in biological materials with the ultimate goal of producing strong and tough composite materials. The research is at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, biology and mechanics. The projects involve microscopic, spectroscopic and mechanical analyses of biological materials with development of nano scaled composite materials. This project is currently being funded and is in collaboration with researchers at Purdue, Northwestern, Berkeley and UCSD. A great opportunity to pursue highly interdisciplinary science and have an opportunity to interact with PIs and researchers with diverse scientific backgrounds. Previous experience working with nano-microstructural and mechanical analyses of biological composites and biominerals or synthesis and testing of nanoscale composites is desirable. Additional merit will be considered for those with polymer / fiber synthesis experience. Selection will place emphasis on expertise, experience and previous publication record. Please send a brief introduction and current CV via email if interested
