Job description
Job Category: VIP BJob Description:The Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Section of Manufacturing Engineering invites applications for a 2-year Postdoc position.Research field
Develop implantable bioelectronics devices. This is a collaborative project between the Department of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School (HMS), Department of Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein), USA, and Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen (KU), Denmark. The enabling technology is a newly invented MEMS microcoil chip for targeted , which we named Trinity. In the long term, our microcoil based implant can be used to treat many illnesses associated with the brain and beyond. We also believe our technology can be used for other neurological illnesses that benefit from local electromagnetic stimulation. The Novo Nordisk Foundation generously supports the project.Responsibilities and qualifications
