Pathogens Extraction and Detection using Advanced Nanomaterials and Microfluidics

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow (PDF) or research associate (RA) to join our multidisciplinary team at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Lassonde School of Engineering, York University, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Join our NSERC I2I-funded research team, where we’re advancing the frontiers of microfluidics, materials science, polymer engineering, biomaterials, AI-assisted modeling, and sensor technologies. In partnership with leading industry collaborators, our group is developing impactful technologies aimed at commercializing high-need solutions for global challenges in pathogen and chemical detection and management. This position offers an opportunity to design, synthesize, and apply advanced nanomaterial (e.g., functionalized imprinted polymer), microparticles and membranes, and sensors for pathogens (e.g. viruses) and emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS microplastics) extraction, isolation and detection.

Key Responsibilities:

Optimize droplet-based microfluidic or other systems for precise imprinted polymer particle generation and functionalization.
