Master Thesis: Development of a Testing Platform
vor 2 Monaten
At the Institute of Biological Information Processing, Bioelectronics (IBI-3) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, physicists, chemists, biologists, material scientists, and engineers perform joint research on the scientific principles of the functional link between biological matter and electronic components. This collaboration has led to the development of platforms for microfluidics, micro-and nano-patterning, electronic biosensors, neural implants, and neuromorphic plarforms. These technologies are developed not only to understand biological processes but to pave their way in neurotechnology and neuroscience.
**Your Job**:
This project involves assessing our current testing platform and identifying its limitations. Additional factors such as oxidative stress within biological tissues, micromotion caused by heartbeat or breathing, and functional load due to repetitive electrical stimulation must be considered. Based on these considerations, solutions will be developed and implemented to create an advanced testing platform for the comprehensive evaluation of the long-term stability of invasive brain-computer interfaces.
Your task will include:
- Analyzing limitations of the current set-up
- Developing solutions to incorporate different loads
- Building a new testing set-up
- Test set-up by performing an accelerated aging test on different neural implants
**Your Profile**:
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in physics, biomedical, electrical or mechanical engineering, material sciences or related field
- Ability to communicate with scientists and technicians from various disciplines
- Well-structured and systematic research approach
- Independent and analytical working style
- Passion for science
- Interest in the field of Neurotechnology
Advantageous, yet not mandatory, is knowledge in mechanical Biophysics and Electrochemistry**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your master’s degree:
- A pleasant working environment within a highly motivated and competent working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary team at one of the most prestigious research facilities in Europe
- You will be supported by outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure as well as closely scientific mentoring
- Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
- Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
- Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
