PhD Position in Next generation auditory prosthesis, University of Lübeck, Germany
Description : The Graduate School for Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/) at the University of Lübeck invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship. Application deadline: June 30, 2009. Project description: The primary goal of this project is to develop chronically implantable, long-term stimulation electrodes for a brain-stem auditory prosthesis. This goal may be achieved by mechanically compliant, flexible multisite microelectrode arrays, which are coated with tissue-engineered and pre-seeded bio reactive cells. These cells are locked to micro cages in the probe and will form a highly specific synaptic contact to the surrounding brain tissue, thus not only fixing the probes, but fostering synaptic connections over time. For this purpose flexible probes from PDMS or polyimide with micro wells are to be colonised with tissue engineered and optimised intermediator cells (neurons) and implanted in an in vivo model of the brain stem. Requirements: Candidates are expected to have a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering. Prior experiences in scientific publishing (during the university study or industry employment) are of advantage. Please prepare all the necessary documents and submit your application online: http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/?q=node/20. For further information, send email to: management@gradschool.uni-luebeck.de or visit our website at http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/.
