Junior Research Fellow

As a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at Opto-Biomedical Microsystem (OBMS) Laboratory, your primary focus will be on developing instruments for various biomedical applications such as screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and point-of-care diagnostics. Additionally, you will work on image and signal analysis for drug screening and testing applications, as well as the fabrication of microfluidic devices. The lab is well-equipped with state-of-the-art tools including a high-end Workstation with 32 GB Graphics card ADA GPU, High-Speed Imaging Camera capable of capturing up to 14000 frames per second, Polarized He-Ne laser source of 20 mW, High Power white light sources, Multiple Vibration Isolation Optical Table, Various Optical and opt mechanics components, and Various 3D printers including Industrial grade Bambu Labs, Creality 3D printer, Resin 3D printer, and High Power Laser Engraver of 40 Watts. This is a full-time on-site role for a Junior Research Fellow (2 years) at OBMS Laboratory. Your responsibilities will include developing and testing instruments for biomedical applications, microfluidic devices, and image and signal analysis. You will also be actively involved in conducting research and publishing results. Candidates with experience in dealing with Optical components, Applied physics, Optics, Microfluidics, and a strong understanding of biomedical applications and technology will have an edge in the recruiting process. Additionally, experience in developing and testing biomedical instruments, microfluidic devices, image and signal analysis, and the ability to conduct research and publish results are essential qualifications for this role. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to enroll in a Ph.D. program at NIT Rourkela if all criteria are fulfilled. This position is available under the sponsored project titled "Innovating Indigenous Portable Microfluidic Absorption Flow Cytometer for Multi-diseases Detection at Point-of-Care" supported by ANRF / SERB, India. If you possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, along with excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work as part of a team, we encourage you to apply by filling out the application NITR/SR/2025/Advt./23BM060/L/051.
