Positions Available

We are looking for PhD students in Nanotechnology and MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) areas to pursue their degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering program at University of Miami. They will be conducting research in Biomedical Nanotechnology with nationally renowned scientists in our state-of-the-art lab facilities at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine as members of Biomedical Nanoscience Program.

The skills required are: 1. Working experience in nanotechnology (nanowire growth, characterization, nanoparticles, etc.) 2. Hands-on clean-room experience (photolithography, etching, deposition, microscopy etc.) 3. Experience in using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Modeling (FEM) software for engineering 4. The candidates should have a Masters degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering (preferred) or Mechanical Engineering. Interested candidates with degrees in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or Biochemistry are also encouraged to apply. Competitive Graduate assistantships with full tuition waivers are available for qualified students.

Please contact Dr. Onur Tigli at tigli@miami.edu with your resume. For more information about the University of Miami and the College of Engineering, please visit http://miami.edu/coe

Highly motivated undergraduate (junior/senior level) and master's students who are interested in gaining cutting-edge research experience in the following topics are also encouraged to apply.
