Multiple openings for postdoc positions at MIT

Position Type: Research
Priority: No
Degree Requirement: Post Doctorate
 
Research Openings in Wireless Sensing, Magnetics and Nanoelectronics at MIT 
 
Multiple positions available for students interested in postdoc position in the new Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek (NCB) (http://www.mit.edu/~profsarkar/) research lab at MIT. NCB aims to fuse nanoelectronics, applied physics, and biology with two major research directions:
 
  • develop novel nanoelectronic devices (such as Quantum Devices, Spintronics, Neuromorphic) employing ingenious device physics and smart nano-materials for achieving extreme energy efficiency and scalability;
  • merge such next generation technologies with living-matter creating unique nanomachine-bio hybrid systems, with remote control and wireless communication abilities to achieve unprecedented possibilities for probing/sensing and modulating (for therapeutics) our brain and body.

Overview
Our aim is to develop extremely miniaturized micro-nano-devices using meta-materials that can non-invasively and remotely/wirelessly monitor and modulate our biological system. The device will harvest energy from external applied fields for its functioning and also modulate the external fields for communicating sensed data.
 
Responsibilities
Conduct research to design and develop wireless sensing technologies, transmitter/receiver systems, RF circuit, implantable and wearable antennae for diverse applications in wireless power transfer, sensing, magnetic resonance imaging and biomedical applications.
 
Qualifications
Required:
  • PhD in electrical/ electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, materials science, bioengineering or relevant field;
  • Strong background in electromagnetism, antennae design, RF circuit design, RFID design, RF engineering and wireless communication
