SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellow

The group of [Pieter Roelfsema](/people/pieter-roelfsema) in the Paris lab at the Institut de la Vision (IDV) is seeking a highly motivated researcher. The project aims to explore the function and organization of the visual brain using ultra high channel count neural interfaces in the macaque brain. This research will lead to new discoveries in visual neuroscience and will help toward the larger goal of vision restoration for the blind by interfacing with the brain.

PhD or PostDoc Position in Visual System Neuroscience and Prosthetics

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position under the guidance of Dr. James Weiland. The position offers an opportunity to work on next generation retinal prosthesis with an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians.

The specific goals of the research are to optimize intraretinal stimulation. Using novel carbon fiber array technology, we will stimulate inner retina cells and record evoked responses using imaging and electrophysiology. Multi-channel stimulation optimization will be achieved using a closed-loop, semi-automated experimental paradigm. The findings from these experiments will feed into the design of a prototype implant to be tested in large animals.  

The Neural Engineering and Ophthalmology research environments are excellent. The Neural Engineering Training Program and the Vision Research Training Program offer myriad opportunities for professional development and networking.

This position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. The initial appointment will be for a minimum of two years, with the potential for extension in subsequent years. The salary offered will be commensurate with experience.

Neuralink

Neuralink is creating the future of brain-computer interfaces: building devices now that have the potential to help people with paralysis regain mobility and independence and invent new technologies that could expand our abilities, our community, and our world.

The BCI Applications Team is responsible for building Telepathy.app — software that enables people with paralysis to use computing devices with precision and ease, via thought alone. Our team spans a wide range of disciplines, from neuroscience and machine learning to software engineering and interface design. We’re looking for an experienced UI Design Engineer to conceptualize, prototype, and ship novel computing interfaces tailored for BCI.

Science Corporation

Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience's hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state-of-the-art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry.

We are seeking a strongly motivated Field Clinical Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will play a critical role in serving as a technical and administrative expert for our clinical trials. They will plan and support clinical device testing and procedures at clinical sites. As a liaison between clinics and our company, the Field Clinical Engineer will need to confidently and diplomatically communicate with a diverse audience to support our goal of performing clinical studies.

We are looking for an outstanding firmware engineer with an excellent track record in delivering robust embedded firmware. You will be responsible for helping to lay the firmware bedrock for Science’s advanced medical technologies such as neural interfaces. Like most technical roles at Science, the work is interdisciplinary, requiring you to learn new concepts while collaborating with biologists, and engineers specializing in machine learning, optics, and microfabrication.

Regardless of role or team, we look for candidates with positive energy as well as the ability to independently orient themselves in an unstructured environment and follow through on problems that need to be solved.

The Brain Computer Interface team is responsible for delivering a product that gives people with paralysis the ability to control computers and phones with their minds at the same speed and functionality level as able-bodied people can. In this role you’ll work with neuroscientists, physicians, and software and electrical engineers to develop the next-generation human-ready Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). 

We are hiring an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to develop novel neural decoders to increase control speed and accuracy, improve reliability, and expand functionality. You will play a critical role in guiding the team to develop cutting-edge machine learning solutions and driving the successful execution of projects to achieve mission critical goals.

The Surgery Team is responsible for making sure Neuralink’s various implanted devices get installed safely and efficiently. This means our job as a team is not limited just to the insertion of the implant’s electrodes but instead to owning the full surgery experience of a potential Neuralink customer in a way that scales. The team works towards our mission of safely installing our implant through in-depth preclinical studies by conducting surgeries and diving into data analysis.

The Ultra-low Vision Lab in the Lions Vision Research and Rehabilitation Center (the Low Vision Division of the Wilmer Eye Institute) is looking for a postdoctoral fellow.

Over the past decade, we developed measurement tools for prosthetic and ultra-low vision: the ULV-VFQ questionnaire and performance measures in both the real world and virtual reality. Under a new phase of the same R01, we are now expanding the range of the questionnaire and VR performance measures to cover a more moderate range of visual impairment, roughly 20/50 - 20/800.
