Job Description
The laboratory of Presidential Young Professor (PYP) Liu Yuxin in the Biomedical Engineering Department at National University of Singapore seeks a Research Fellow (PDF) with strong enthusiasm and interest in neurotechnology, organoid intelligence, brain-machine-interface research.
The successful candidate is required to work on a groundbreaking project aimed at developing and testing advanced neural probes that overcome the limitations of current technologies. This position offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of neural engineering, with a focus on dual-modality neural monitoring and developing organoid intelligence as a biological computer. He / she is required to perform the followings:
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, fabricate, and optimize neural probes using state-of-the-art materials and techniques.
- Conduct in vivo experiments to validate the performance of the developed probes in recording electrophysiological and/or neurochemical signals.
- Develop neural interface for biological computing using 3D cultures of human brain organoid
- Collaborate with a team of neuroscientists, engineers, and other researchers to advance the project goals.
