Postdoctoral Position in Biological and Molecular Systems on CMOS Sensing/Actuating Platforms
ETH Zurich’s Integrated Devices, Electronics, and Systems (IDEAS) Group is recruiting a
postdoctoral researcher
for an interdisciplinary project at the interface of
biology, molecular systems, bioelectronics, biosensors, CMOS integrated circuits, electrochemistry, and cell culture
.
The position focuses on
biological and molecular assays
and bio-experiments for CMOS sensing/actuating platforms. The successful candidate will work on long-term culture and maintenance of neurons and other cell-based assays on CMOS IC chips, including human stem-cell-derived cells and animal-based cells. The role also includes development of stable cell-microelectrode interfaces, molecular and electrochemical experiments on micro-/nano-electrode arrays, surface functionalization, electrodeposition, electrochemical reactions, molecular synthesis, and biological characterization using microscopy, fluorescence-based assays, and electrochemical measurements.
This is
not
a CMOS electronic circuits research position. Instead, the post is aimed at candidates with strong hands-on expertise in
cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, chemistry, electrochemistry, bioengineering, or biomedical engineering
, especially those with experience in long-term neuronal culture, cellular assays, and bioelectronic or organ-on-chip platforms. The role also involves working closely with CMOS electronics researchers, contributing to teaching in a graduate-level course, mentoring students, presenting at conferences, and publishing peer-reviewed papers.
The position is based at
ETH Zurich
and is described as
fully funded
for an initial period of
1–2 years
, with possible extension depending on performance and available funding. Applicants should submit a cover letter, concise CV, diploma and certificates, and five best publications through the online portal. Questions can be directed to
