Biophotonics Graduate Research Positions

There are a few graduate research positions available in the Biophotonics Lab, which is located in the newly renovated ABB photonics facility as well as in the McMaster Smart Home for Aging-in-Place (SHAPE) in Westdale. The students will be responsible to build and calibrate different experimental systems including

  • ultrafast laser micromachining and additive manufacturing,
  • fluorescence microscopy,
  • endoscopic imaging,
  • optofluidic sensing,
  • Smart Home sensor networks.

Each of these projects have different requirements which are outlined below.

It is also part of the Accelerated Master Program in Biomedical Engineering, especially (but not limited to) for students in the iBioMed program.

Requirements

  • Enthusiasm in biomedical engineering research
  • Undergraduate degree in photonics engineering, physics, EE/ECE, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, life science/biochemistry,

integrated Sciences, and related fields.

  • Strong physics and math academic backgrounds

How to Apply

Interested students should e-mail an updated CV and unofficial transcript to biophotonics@mcmaster.ca.
