Announcement of Positions Available
The Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) at Louisiana Tech University is
inviting applications from qualified individuals for research engineers,
research associates, visiting scholars, postdoctors and technician positions in
the general areas of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and
micromanufacturing. Specific areas include electroplating and injection molding
at the microscale, surface and bulk micromachining, x-ray micromachining,
electronic circuit and device miniaturization, and electronic packaging. One of
the research engineer positions is a joint appointment between the IfM,
Louisiana Tech University and the Center for Advanced Microstructures and
Devices (CAMD), Louisiana State University, with Louisiana Tech being the lead
institution. This position is in the area of deep x-ray lithography (DXRL or
LIGA) applied to Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and micromanufacturing.
Appointments for the research engineer positions will be considered at the
Assistant, Associate and Senior rank commensurate with qualifications, which
include an earned doctorate in engineering or science, or in lieu of the
doctorate, significant professional experience and accomplishments in the
field. The research engineer positions are 12-month appointments and, depending
on the qualifications of the successful applicant, the position could carry
faculty status. The IfM will be housed in a new 41,000 ft2 facility dedicated
to the miniaturization technologies. The synchrotron is located at CAMD and the
IfM/CAMD partnership currently has three beamlines that are dedicated to DXRL.
Considerable processing equipment will be available at both CAMD and the IfM.
Screening of applicants will begin immediately and applications will be
accepted until the position is filled. Please send resume, names of three
professional references and a brief description of research interests to:
