Postdoc Position—Light Emitting Boron Biomaterials—Fraser Lab—UVA

A postdoc position is available now on an interdisciplinary project investigating the synthesis, fabrication, properties and applications of a new class of light emitting boron biomaterials for imaging and sensing. Presently we are collaborating with biologists, biomedical engineers and MDs in cancer, cardiovascular and diabetes areas, and networking with companies regarding optical imaging and oxygen sensing applications. Synthetic experience (e.g. organic, inorganic, polymers), strong analytical skills and the ability to work collaboratively, and teach and learn from others are essential. Interest in biomedical applications and sustainable design is a plus.

For more information, contact Prof. Cassandra L. Fraser.

Undergraduate Research Position Available

We invite one or two outstanding first or second year undergraduates to join our research team each year, typically in the fall semester. We serve as mentors and strong advocates for ambitious and dedicated students who are expected to apply for research fellowships and awards and to conduct research ~10/week during the school year and full time in the summers. (See the Fraser Lab People>Alumni page for examples of outstanding former undergraduates from our group, many of whom were successful in winning prestigious UVA and nationally competitive research awards.) Interested candidates are welcome to submit a CV, names of three references, a transcript, and brief statement of interest to Prof. Fraser for consideration.
