AMVETS Jobs

OVERVIEW

BlueHalo is seeking to develop new technologies in the sphere of biomaterials with an emphasis on biomaterials for infrastructure development, for example biocement based on microbially-induced calcite precipitation.  We have assembled a multi-disciplinary team and are looking for additional help in devising and conducting experiments that advance our knowledge and ultimately deliver new concepts or products for a range of infrastructure applications.  The successful applicant will become part of a group operating within the Biological Materials and Processing Research Team located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH.  There is a potential to grow into other roles within this team, contributing on a variety of projects within the space of biomaterials.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Prototyping to refine biomaterial production techniques and formulations.
• Conducting experimental campaigns on biomaterial specimens (extensive mechanical testing, chemical/biochemical testing, biological testing.)
• As a member of a team, devising experimental plans based on accumulating results, scientific literature, or first principles.
• Documentation of standard operating procedures, test protocols, and experimental results.
• Presentation of work products at internal and external scientific meetings.

WHAT QUALIFICATIONS YOU WILL BRING

• Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant discipline (bioengineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or another related field).
• 2 to 4 years experience, or Master's Degree with 0-2 years experience.
• Experience working with laboratory chemicals.
• Willingness to learn new techniques and to conduct extensive experimental campaigns, both independently at times but with close supervision at other times.

Desired qualifications:

• Experience with biomaterial characterization tools (load testing, chemical analysis, rheology, mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy or transmission electron microscopy, etc.).
• Experience with design of experiments, AI/ML, or process optimization generally.
• Experience with spray-drying.
• Experience working with soils; knowledge of soil physics; biological interfaces with soils.
• Experience with microbial fermentation.
