Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neural interfaces for applications in Auditory Neuroengineering at Ghent University

Ghent University is offering a Postdoc Fellowship in Neural interfaces for applications in Auditory Neuroengineering. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team that aims to develop novel materials and neural interfaces for the investigation of the auditory-neurological pathway.

About the Program:-

• In NeW (Neural Waves) lab of Prof. Spyropoulos at WAVES (Dept. of Information Technology), researchers aim to dissolve the scientific boundaries between different fields and promote an interdisciplinary way of thinking to create biomedical devices and therapeutic systems that will benefit human health. 
• The Neural Waves lab is particularly interested in innovating minimally invasive neural interfaces that can address fundamental questions regarding the neurobiology of brain, as well as conduct diagnostics and interventions to mitigate relative disorders. 
• The NeW lab is part of the Ghent Auditory Science Platform (GASP) team, a collaboration between several research groups from the faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Psychology at Ghent University conducting joint research in auditory science. 
• Under this scheme, Ghent University is utilizing novel neural interfaces to investigate the auditory-neurological pathway and develop devices going beyond the current state-of-the-art hearing aids and cochlear implants. 
• Further, the NeW lab is exploring novel materials in micro- and nano-scale domains that will expand the boundaries of interaction with biological systems.

Funding is available for 2 years with good perspectives for continued funding up to 2 more years after positive intermediate evaluation.

• Applicants should hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, bioelectronics, or a similar field.
• Excellent written and oral English skills and experience with writing scientific papers are required.
• Experience with animal models, rodent surgery, coding skills (Matlab), and microfabrication is a definite plus.
