Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University

Job Description:

Summary:

A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU). The candidate would work in the area of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of agricultural produce and products with a focus on determining the mode of action. Specifically, the postdoctoral fellow will conduct objective oriented research in plasma applications in seeds and plants of economic crops species; poultry meat and eggs, and nitrogen enriched plasma water for use as a fertilizer and as a biocide. The selected candidate will be a member of the NSF EPSCoR interdisciplinary and multiinstitutional team (www. uah.edu/cpu2al), and will work under the supervision of the project directors at AAMU and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), and any other collaborator(s).

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

To conceptualize, design, and conduct experiments that give rapid-results with potential for in-depth studies leading to a deeper understanding of the mode of action.

To work closely with collaborators at UAH and private industry to address challenges in designing and building appropriate plasma equipment to suit the research objectives.

To produce high-quality journal publications, consult and assist other students in the lab, work with the PIs on proposals, and interface with other faculty and staff.

Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

Minimum Position Requirements (including years of experience, certifications, licenses, etc.):

A Ph.D. in biophysics, plasma chemistry, agricultural science, or related fields with a strong background in biophysics is required.

Preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in plasma applications in agriculture and soft biomatter.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

Written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to work effectively with people.
