Automated Synthesis Project Scientist at UC Santa Barbara
Interested in developing new biomaterials at a National scale? How about accelerating this discovery through automation and high-throughput experimentation?
BioPACIFIC MIP is a state-of-the-art user facility dedicated to biomaterials discovery and development. This research eco-system integrates the very broad, disparate communities from Engineering, Materials, Biology, and Chemistry and enables materials innovation through high-throughput automation in synthetic biology and chemistry, characterization, computation, and data collection, analysis, and mining. BioPACIFIC MIP is seeking a motivated individual to grow a world-class resource for automated synthetic chemistry of novel biomaterials and take a lead role in the development and application of these next-generation tools in advancing BioPACIFIC MIP’s research mission and enabling a national user base to utilize this resource.
The Automated Synthesis Project Scientist will oversee the operation and strategic growth of the Synthetic Chemistry Facility at BioPACIFIC MIP, serving as a scientific and technical expert on the facility’s instrumentation and on setting up, carrying out, and analyzing experiments, advancing new processes and procedures for use on the facility’s cutting-edge equipment, contributing to in-house and user research, developing new capabilities and instrumentation, and sharing knowledge and expertise through scientific papers, technical conferences, and the BioPACIFIC MIP Summer School.
The Automated Synthesis Project Scientist will collaborate with a National base of senior faculty participants, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students to continuously build expertise and remain at the forefront of their research fields.
A reasonable estimate that the University expects to pay for this position at 100% time is $88,100 - $152,300.
