We are looking for a talented postdoc to work on an innovative project, involving design, microfabrication and benchtop characterization of biomedical devices and systems. This is part of an interdisciplinary project involving multimodal recording and stimulation from engineered and endogenous excitable cells, including nerve cells in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Required skills:

• Microfabrication on rigid and flexible polymer substrates (photolithography, metal evaporation, etching)
• Instrumentation
• Experience with packaging schemes such as flip-chip bonding, anisotropic conductive film bonding and wirebonding
• Finite element Method (FEM) simulations
• Experimental data analysis in Python or MATLAB

Desired (not required) prior experience:

• Discrete electronic design (Analog and digital design using COTS, schematic and layout design, microcontroller programming, PCB prototyping)
• Experience with electron-beam lithography
• Experience with electrochemical characterization (e.g., electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiostat measurements)
• Experience with using PZT ultrasound transducers

You will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts from different disciplines.

We are committed to the professional development of postdoctoral researchers and you will have the opportunity to learn and grow.
