Postdoc - in vivo optoelectronics application and verification Mission The LSBI is a multidisciplinary group at the crossroads of engineering and biology. Our research explores materials, technology and integration of soft bioelectronic interfaces and electronic skins. We design, fabricate and characterise stretchable devices, and implement them in ultra-compliant circuitry and soft bioelectronic interfaces. Our field of applications ranges from neuroelectronic devices for neuroprosthetics, to wearable sensors and actuators, as well as soft in vitro interfaces.
The Postdoc will contribute to the development and verification of an optoelectronic therapy for bladder dysfunction.
More specifically, he/she will be responsible for overseeing the in vivo testing, optimization and functional verification of optoelectronic devices based on µLED’s assembled on compliant substrates.
The Postdoc will join a multidisciplinary team including micro-/neuro- technologists, neuroscientists, and molecular biologists.
We are looking for an excellent candidate with a high level of motivation, independence and capacity for teamwork.
Main duties and responsibilities In this position, the Postdoc will have a broad set of responsibilities including:
Lead the optimization, application and verification of an optoelectronic implant for bladder dysfunction in rodent models
Collect and analyse electrophysiological and behavioural data
Histologically evaluate tissue following chronic implantation
Work independently and as part of a collaborative team to plan and execute experiments
Maintain knowledge of published developments in research field and recommend alternative strategies
Plan and organize workload to meet project milestones and timelines
Maintain accurate and detailed documentation of experimental methods and outcomes in lab books and written reports
Communicate research updates and outcomes effectively through verbal presentations at lab meetings and conferences
Contribute to scientific publications as well as to patents
Qualifications
PhD in neuroscience, neuroengineering, or related field
Relevant experience in preclinical neuroscience using implanted interfaces
Expertise in electrophysiology techniques, including in vivo recordings of neuronal activity (local field potentials), EMG recordings
Experience with complex surgical and behavioural techniques in rodent models
Familiarity with optogenetics (preferred)
Working knowledge of histological methods and fluorescent microscopy (preferred)
Open minded, proactive, problem-solving attitude with strong sense of ownership and drive
Ability to work in an independent manner, while contributing effectively to a collaborative team environment
Efficient, flexible, with strong organizational and time management skills
Fluency in oral and written English (C1) is a must, French is a plus
We offer
An opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project in neuroscience and neurotechnology within a world-class community of engineers, neuroscientists and medical doctors.
A dynamic, multidisciplinary, international and collaborative working environment based at EPFL Campus Biotech in Geneva.
EPFL is an international and world-class engineering institution that hosts state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities, a rich and vibrant scientific and entrepreneurial community.
