We have developed "engineered surfaces" possessing specific functional group chemistry and are studying the kinetics and equilibrium adsorption of DNA onto these surfaces. You will study the adsorption of oligomeric strands of DNA onto engineered surfaces using Quartz Crystal Nanogravimetry (QCN) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). You will correlate these measurements with dynamic contact angle wettability measurements.</FONT></FONT></P> <P><FONT FACE="Verdana"><FONT SIZE=1 STYLE="font-size: 8pt"><B>Contact:</B> Please forward (via e-mail or fax) your complete CV, including courses taken and grades received, GPA, and the names of two persons who may serve as referees to -- Ms. Ann M.
