Postdoc or Research Assistant in Electrical Engineering with expertise in nano-material-polymer composite based bio-sensors at Queen's University
We are looking for a Research Assistant in Electrical Engineering with expertise in nano-material-polymer composite based bio-sensors to assist in developing advanced polymer bio-sensors for head-worn audio devices. The position is available as early as January 2022. The position will be at Kingston at Queen's University in collaboration between AAVAA and the Ameri Nano Research Group. With AAVAA, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team building a unique listening device that allows people to hear what matters by processing their surrounding sounds based on input from their brain and bio-signals. Our goal is to give everyone control of their auditory environment, enhance the sounds they want to hear, and suppress distracting noise.
In addition to solving one of the biggest challenges of human health, you will get:
A generous salary, benefits, and vacation program A safe, healthy, and inclusive work environment
We are looking for problem solver engineers and scientists who have a collaborative and meticulous spirit. The applicant should have a PhD, or be enrolled in a master's or bachelor's program at Queen's University. We are dedicated to increasing diversity in science and technology; therefore, candidates of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
