Full financial support is available for highly qualified Ph.D. students to join our research team. Current research activities in the laboratory concentrate on polymer fluids, thin films, colloidal particle suspensions, and fiber/nanotube/nanoparticle applications ranging from microelectronics to tissue engineering and drug release. Significant expertise in fluid physics exists in the laboratory, with particular emphasis on fundamental transport processes occurring at length scales ranging from
a few microns down to the nanometer level. Several PhD students and two postdoctoral researchers are presently employed in the laboratory.

We are seeking independent/inquisitive thinkers with superior experimental skills to participate in all operational aspects of our research laboratory. Advance training in fluid physics is required.
Familiarity with biological experiments and polymer processing would be an advantage, but is not required. The positions offer a monthly stipend of US$1,875, full tuition, and standard graduate student benefits (annual value exceeding US$45,000).
