Job Description

Position Overview

The Institute for Bioengineering Research (IBER), University of Kansas School of Engineering is recruiting a research technician. The Institute serves as a catalyst for collaborative research focused on: i) advanced multi-scale structure/property analyses of materials, tissues, and material/tissue interfaces; ii) multi-modal characterization to interpret material/tissue interfacial responses that evolve with time, temperature and function; iii) providing an environment for novel approaches to biomaterials discovery and medical device innovation. This position will support laboratory research activities and includes 1) performing experiments as directed and 2) general laboratory support and maintenance of associated resources. Associated research activities are diverse and will include FTIR spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray micro-CT, optical microscopy, surface analysis and mechanical testing.

60% - Perform experiments as directed or trained.
  • Keep accurate and detailed records of experiments performed.
  • These duties include carrying out directed research experiments relative to the mission of the IBER. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to perform experiments on an individual basis that pertain to current research topics in the IBER.
  • Design experiments employing techniques such as FTIR, AFM, thermal techniques and dynamic mechanical analyses.
40% - General laboratory support and maintenance of associated resources.
  • Coordination of activities on instrumentation.
  • Preparing standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Management of laboratory records and laboratory documents.
