Microscale Physicochemical Hydrodynamics Laboratory

Postdoctoral Position [pdf]

The Microscale Physicochemical Hydrodynamics Laboratory (µPHYL) at Duke University has an immediate postdoctoral opening. The µPHYL lab applies fundamental physicochemical hydrodynamics to practical micro/nanosystems. Ongoing projects include "Electrohydrodynamic Coulter Counting" with Taylor cone-jets (NSF) and "Planar Thermal Diode" using superhydrophobic jumping drops (DARPA).

The postdoctoral candidate should have PhD training in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, Applied Physics or a closely related field. The ideal candidate should have research experience in at least one of the following areas: microfabrication, optical imaging, bioanalytical microfluidics, phase-change heat transfer, and interfacial flow modeling.

Interested candidates should contact Professor Chuan-Hua Chen with a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and a list of at least three references with contact information including emails and phone numbers. Screening of the candidates will begin immediately until the position is filled.

Graduate and Undergraduate Students

Motivated students are encouraged to contact Prof. Chuan-Hua Chen to discuss potential research assistantships and independent studies.
