Open Position

January- April 2023: We are seeking postdoctoral candidates with extensive experience in biosensing and expertise in microfluidics, biosensors (including electrochemical, chemiluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence), and advanced materials/molecules for biosensors (e.g., molecularly imprinted polymers, aptamers, stable antibodies, and nanobodies). Postdoctoral fellows with relevant skills are welcome to contact Dr. Sanati-Nezhad to inquire about other possibilities and also to apply for postdoc fellowships.

The Sanati-Nezhad's lab is also looking for MSc or Ph.D. students with a background in Biomedical Engineering or Biological Science for the development of organ on-chip projects. Experience in microfluidics, cell biology, microscopy, tissue engineering and biomaterial is an asset. Candidates should send their CV to Dr. Sanati at amir.sanatinezhad@ucalgary.ca. Find more information here. Information about funding opportunities can be found here. 

Internships at all levels are possible in the Sanati's lab. Please contact Dr. Sanati-Nezhad to inquire about details. Information about funding opportunities can be found here, Mitacs.

Undergraduate students are welcome to have their BMEN 500/501 or capstone biomedical engineering research thesis or their biomedical engineering research project in Dr. Sanati's lab.
