Description

Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute is looking for you to fill a key need to expand the pace and scope of electrical measurements in a research project aimed at developing single-molecule electronic sequencing of DNA.  As the Research Technologist, you will set up, operate, and maintain a semi-automated probe station for characterization of nanofabricated wafers of experimental solid-state devices.  You will also run experiments using bioelectronic devices, requiring wire bonding, microfluidics, low-noise measurements and wet-chemistry.  Under the direction of, and with training by, members of the scientific team, you will develop procedures to enable high-throughput measurements of electronic signals collected from single molecules, operating custom electronics, and a high-throughput analog-to-digital data acquisition system.

We are looking for you to fill either an Assistant, Associate, or full Research Technologist role, but are willing to hire as a Research Specialist or Research Specialist Sr. if your experience better aligns with the qualification of the Research Specialist job family.
