Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Bioelectronics

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p></p><div>We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Bioelectronics research group at the Department of Engineering Science (Headington).&#160; The post is funded by the UKRI and is fixed-term for up to 24 months.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>The researcher will work with Professor Christopher Proctor to develop prototype bioelectronic technologies for interfacing with the nervous system. The emerging field of &#8220;bioelectronics&#8221; provides a novel intervention by sensing and electrically stimulating the nervous system. This project will push capacity to further include electronically controlled pharmaceutical release into bioelectronic systems.&#160; You will be responsible for microfabrication of bioelectronic technologies, development of materials for bioelectronic applications and optimization of bioelectronic devices for selective and controlled therapuetic release.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>You should hold a relevant PhD (or be near completion) in fields such as biomedical, electrical or materials engineering.&#160; You should have proven competence in microfabrication techniques for biomedical technologies and evidence of working well as part of a busy multidisciplinary research team.&#160; Experience with microfluidics and/or drug delivery systems will be beneficial.&#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Christopher Proctor (christopher.proctor@eng.ox.ac.uk). &#160;</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>For more information about working at the Department, see&#160;&#160;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/">www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/</a></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Only online applications received before midday on <strong>26 April 2024</strong> can be considered.
