Fulltime Researcher Position Opening in the Nanoprobe Laboratory for Bio-& Nanotechnology and Biomimetics (NLB2)

A fulltime researcher is sought for an open research position effective immediately. Research project is in the field of biomimetics – fabrication of bioinspired surfaces for water collection and repellency. Project involves microfabrication of surfaces using various coating composites and characterization as well as some modeling.

For general background on the research area, pl read the following articles: (1) Brown, P. S. and Bhushan, B., “Bioinspired Materials for Water Supply and Management: Water Collection, Water Purification and Separation of Water from Oil,” Philos. Trans.Royal Soc. A 374, 20160135 (2016), and (2) Wang, Y. and Bhushan, B., “Wear-Resistant and Antismudge Superoleophobic Coating on Polyethylene Terephthalate Substrate Using SiO2 Nanoparticles,” ACS Appl. Mater. & Interf. 7, 743-755 (2015).
