Doctoral position: Biomedical Micro and Nanosystems 1837 views

The Micro and Nanosystems Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH School of Electrical Engineering) invites applications for one or more PhD student positions.

About the position:

• Applicants must have a desire to conduct cutting-edge research within the area of medical MEMS.
• Within specific projects, the task includes are to develop next-generation MEMS devices with dramatically improved, or entirely novel functionalities.
• As a PhD student in MEMS candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary research team that consists of members with different professional and cultural backgrounds.
• All projects involve both theoretical and experimental tasks as well as cooperation with other scientific disciplines.
• Experimental work will partly be conducted in the KTH micro and nano fabrication cleanroom in Stockholm-Kista and together with medical doctors and clinical partners at the Karolinska Institute and ASIC designers at Linköping University.
• The PhD project aims at developing an implantable wireless millimeter-sized sensor device for dynamic health monitoring of cells in diabetic and pre-diabetic patients.
• The work includes to develop the technical platform and evaluate it in vivo in animal models.

Eligibility:

• Applicant must have passed a degree at advanced level, completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits at advanced level, or in any other way acquired within or outside the country acquired essentially equivalent knowledge.
• Applicant to hold M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a corresponding degree from a major university.
• Specialization in Micro/Nano engineering is meritorious but not a requirement.

Applications:

Apply online and the applications must include the following elements:

• CV including relevant professional experience and knowledge.
• Application letter with a brief description of why the candidate want to pursue research studies, about what your academic interests are and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Maximum 2 pages long)
• Copy of the degree certificate(s) and transcripts of records from your previously attended university-level institutions. Translations into English or Swedish if the original documents are not issued in one of these languages.
