Buckley lab is hiring!

The Buckley Lab at the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University is seeking a highly motivated full-time Research Technician.  This research associate will contribute to projects that expand the clinical applications of a novel light-based device used to non-invasively monitor the brain. This opening is available ASAP

Responsibilities: Job responsibilities will include data acquisition with the device in a clinical setting, study consenting, patient interaction, database management, IRB protocol compliance and record keeping, construction of optical sensors, along with assistance on a variety of other miscellaneous experiments. The candidate is expected to be self-motivated, detail oriented, have strong interpersonal skills, and capable of working in a collaborative environment.

Qualifications: The successful candidate must have a B.S.  The following disciplines are preferred: biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, biology, physics, chemistry, or a related field.  Experience with Matlab, LabView, or other coding language is preferred but not required.  The candidate must be able to lift up to 30lbs and push a cart on wheels throughout the hospital.  The ideal candidate will be willing to commit to at least two years in the position.

Interested candidates should apply here. Further, feel free to reach out to express interest in the position via email to Dr. Erin Buckley (erin.buckley@emory.edu) with “Clinical Research Technician” in the subject.

Welcome our new technicians

We are excited to have two new lab members, Katherine Turrentine and Lilly Rohrer. Katherine received her Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in Pre-Medicine and certificates in both Biomedical Sciences and Applied Physiology from the Georgia Institute of Technology. She is on track for medical school. Lilly graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science and a Master’s in Comparative Biomedical Sciences. Her research at UGA involved infectious diseases and reproduction in dairy and beef cows and her background is mostly in companion animal veterinary medicine, so she loves working with animals of all sizes.

Eashani Sathialingam receives National Institutes of Health Predoctoral Fellowship

Congratulations to our graduate student, Eashani Sathialingam, for receiving a NIH/NHLBI F31 Predoctoral Fellowship! Her project, entitled, “Microvascular Cerebral Blood Flow Monitoring with Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy in Sickle Cell Anemia Children” will focus on developing and validating unique algorithms that will correct for the confounding influence of hematocrit on DCS blood flow measurements.
