Job Purpose

Position Overview

A postdoctoral research opportunity is available at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Khalifa University for outstanding researchers to apply state-of-the-art materials science, organic electronics and biosensors, for the development of a microfluidics based bioelectronic multiparameter point of care sensor

• The job purpose is to provide high quality research support and undertake internationally competitive research aimed at publication thereby contributing to the academic and research mission of the University.  
• Since the Postdoctoral, experience is transitional to becoming an independent researcher or faculty member, the Postdoctoral tries their best to acquire the varied skills necessary to advance their career with guidance from the advisor.
