Lead Research Biomedical Engineer | School of Medicine - Pediatrics, Leukemia Lymphoma
About The Position
Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community. Under minimal supervision, performs a variety of defined research and laboratory tasks requiring engineering knowledge according to prescribed protocols. This includes integration of hardware and software for custom laboratory equipment and interfacing with engineering support at companies. Uses independent judgement in applying or adapting engineering research techniques in experiments, including design and construction of electrical and/or mechanical parts for research purposes. Able to independently select and use specialized software for electrical circuit and mechanical design, construction of parts, and/or working with engineering companies to develop designs and ensure that design specifications are met. Sets up and performs experiments with minimal supervision. Ensures that adequate supplies are purchased for performing experiments. With minimal supervision maintains appropriate certifications for performance of experiments (i.e. IRB, IACUC protocols and other lab certifications). May assist in protocol design for experimental and/or computational studies. Investigates and proposes alterative experimental and computational approaches for consideration by a principal investigator; this includes hardware and software development. Assists in planning and scheduling research procedures. Demonstrates and trains other in the proper use of research techniques, including laboratory equipment, data analysis, and computerized methodologies. Calibrates, troubleshoots, and performs routine repair and maintenance of equipment and/or computers with minimal supervision. Develops data processing and analysis procedures using specialized engineering software such as Matlab, LabView, Python, Vicon Workstation, SolidWorks, etc., using matrix algebra, calculus, and differential equations, Fourier analysis, as well as other engineering analysis techniques; create accompanying graphs, tables, and other data compilation as needed. Reviews literature for related research developments and techniques and compiles findings. Monitors experimental and data analysis processes to maintain quality assurance standards. Records results of studies, compiles and analyzes data and prepares engineering analyses for plotting, statistical analysis, and visualization. May assist in preparation of figures and text for grants and papers. May co-author or co-present research with PI as collaborating author. Performs other duties as required.
