The Nanobioelectronics Laboratory (NBEL) in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev specializes in interfacing biology with microelectronics. The lab focuses on integrating functional biomaterials with micro- and nano- systems for monitoring of chemical and biological markers and their utilization onto the next generation of mobile and network real-world personalized health monitoring applications.

Positions Description:

The Nanobioelectronics Laboratory has an available position for PhD research students, effective from February 2019. The positions are geared towards the development of Bio Microelectromechanical Systems (Bio-MEMS) technology, materials, devices and systems for Organ-on-a-Chip that will be used for disease treatment analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Self-motivation with long term research goals will be given preference
2. Familiarization with electrochemical characterization techniques, MEMS/Bio-MEMS and microfabrication processes will be considered a plus
3. The desire to work in a collaborative, dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international team

How to apply:

Interested applicants should send curriculum vitae along with a short statement of research interests to Dr. Hadar Ben-Yoav (benyoav@bgu.ac.il).

Please also advise the website of the Kreitman School of Advanced Studies and Faculty of Engineering for information about Ph.D. procedures and competitive scholarships @BGU.
