TBBL: Our mission is first-in-human demonstrations of the most advanced bioelectronics for the treatment of neurologic disease. Multiple Postdoctoral Fellow research positions are available in the TBBL at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) (www.seymourlab.org/). We are part of the newly formed Texas Institute for Restorative Neurotechnologies (TIRN).

Qualifications:

• Applicants must have a Ph.D. in one of the following: biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or neuroscience.
• Our highest priority opening is a BCI or animal experimentalist with domain knowledge of machine learning, biophysics, mathematics, and translation.
• Two current project positions are open: (1) BCI application of novel, patent-pending depth electrode array, and (2) developing a higher resolution epilepsy diagnostic tool.
• A strong publication record and excellent academic credentials are highly desirable.
• Experience in first-in-human deployment would be beneficial.

World Class Environment:

Fellows will benefit from a close interaction with our collaborating experts in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology, neuroscience, machine learning, materials science, mixed-mode circuits, and system design. Our closest collaborators at UTHealth are neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroscientists who offer critical design input for human or primate use. Our lab is also located in the Biosciences Research Collaborative at Rice University and part the Rice Neuroengineering Initiative, thus collaborations are possible with faculty at UTHealth, Rice University, and Baylor College of Medicine. Our front-end fabrication is performed at the Rice Nanofab facility.

Competitive salary and benefits are offered to qualified candidates. Houston is an exciting and thriving metropolis that is investing heavily in biotechnology.
