Postdoctoral Researcher in Magnetic Glaucoma Implant Development
4 weken geleden
Job Opportunity
At Eindhoven University of Technology, we are seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team working on the development of a novel glaucoma implant.
About the Project
The project, funded by the NWO Demonstrator project "EyeFlow", aims to create a magnetically adjustable glaucoma implant to treat this debilitating condition. The implant will feature an integrated magnetic microvalve system, allowing for non-invasive adjustment of intraocular pressure.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and test a magnetic valving system for reliable opening and closing of microfluidic channels within the implant.
- Ensure the system meets criteria for reproducibility, long-term stability under bodily conditions, biocompatibility, and seamless integration into a minimally invasive glaucoma implant.
- Perform theoretical and numerical work to predict implant performance and guide prototype development.
- Integrate the chosen valving principle into a miniature glaucoma drainage device and build a proof-of-concept device.
- Validate the device's performance through in vitro and ex vivo microfluidic experiments, and prepare functional prototypes for in vivo testing in rabbits.
Requirements
We are looking for a motivated researcher with a PhD in mechanical or biomedical engineering, physics, or a related field. The ideal candidate should have experience in microfluidics, microfabrication, actuators, and (bio)medical devices. They should also be skilled in practical laboratory work and able to develop and apply theoretical skills to gain a fundamental understanding of the subject matter.
Working Conditions
The postdoc researcher will be embedded in the Microsystems research section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, headed by prof.dr.ir. Jaap den Toonder, and will be supervised by Dr. Inês Figueiredo Pereira and Prof.dr.ir. Jaap den Toonder. The Microsystems group manages the Microfab/lab, a state-of-the-art micro fabrication facility that houses a range of micro manufacturing technologies – microfluidics technology is one of the main research pillars of the group.
What We Offer
We offer a full-time appointment for 1.5 years, a salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale 10, and a range of benefits including a year-end bonus, annual vacation pay, and high-quality training programs.
