Responsibilities

  • Lead the design, synthesis, and optimization of complex surface architectures on semiconductor substrates.
  • Develop and execute robust synthetic protocols to bridge core deposition chemistry (e.g., self-assembled monolayers) with biomolecules and antifouling layers.
  • Design, synthesize, purify, and apply novel molecules for surface functionalization.
  • Analyze and scrutinize experimental data to guide surface chemistry optimization, troubleshoot technical issues, and drive project direction.
  • Maintain detailed and meticulous records of all experimental work and analysis.

Requirements

  • The ideal candidate is an innovative surface chemist with a strong synthetic background who thrives in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.
  • Must have sufficient visual acuity to read small print on labels, instrument displays, and computer monitors.

Benefits

  • Close vision, color vision, and the ability to adjust focus are required. ·
