Synthetic Biology Postdoctoral Fellowships
About the Research
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Biotechnology Branch has multiple postdoctoral opportunities available in synthetic biology. Candidates with synthetic biology experience are strongly encouraged to apply, and experience in non-chassis organisms is highly desired. Projects will address a broad range of advances in non-medical materials discovery through living-living hybrid systems for national security and defense applications. U.S. Citizenship is required.
About SEDD
The Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) is the Army’s principal center for research and development in the exploration and exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, infrared (IR), visible, and audio regions. SEDD is responsible for advances in laser sources, RF sources, IR sensors, signature detection and decoding, target imaging and its interpretation, fusion of data derived from several sensors, and electromagnetic protection.
