Job/Position Description- 

Appointment time– A Postdoc is appointed for two years.

Starting date- Autumn 2020 by agreement.

Salary– The University applies individual salary scales adapted to the experience of the employee and to the labor market.

• A Postdoc will essentially carry out research. The position may also involve teaching but during no more than a fifth of the work time.
• The postdoc will develop a novel neural interface technology based on soft and deformable conductors and functional materials.
• A new concept around self-inserting neural interfaces will be explored to find novel solutions for integrating soft electronics into the tissue.
• The research will include materials and devices based on soft and elastic electronic composite materials to facilitate close integration with neural tissue and thereby enabling the translation between biological and electronic signals.
• Typical composite materials comprise metallic nanomaterials and soft elastomers.
• The research will include the processing of materials and components in a cleanroom facility, together with the characterization of electrical/mechanical material properties and device performance.
• Applications of the developed technology will be explored in collaboration with external partners.
• As a postdoc, you are expected to assist in the leadership of the scientific work within your area and to guide students. Responsibilities can increase in relation to demonstrated abilities.
