PhD and Postdoc Openings at University of Texas at Arlington

Research Description
The NanoEngineering and MicroSystems (NEMS) Laboratory at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) invites applications for several postdoctoral fellows, Ph.D. and visiting student/scholar openings beginning in Fall 2020. The research focus of this lab is to develop nano/micro-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) based on flexible and smart materials. Example research thrust areas include: (1) biomimetic devices for physiological interfacing; (2) wearable electronics for biosensing and drug delivery; (3) embedded sensors for structural health monitoring; and (4) biosensors for agricultural and environmental monitoring.
