Project description
Third-cycle subject: Electrical engineering
The Micro and Nanosystems Lab at the KTH School of Electrical Engineering invites applications for one doctoral student position. We are seeking applicants who have a desire to conduct cutting-edge research within the area of medical MEMS. Within specific projects, your task is to develop next-generation MEMS devices with dramatically improved, or entirely novel functionalities.
As a doctoral student in MEMS you will be part of an interdisciplinary research team that consists of members with different professional and cultural backgrounds. All projects involve both theoretical and experimental tasks as well as cooperation with other scientific disciplines. Experimental work will partly be conducted in the KTH micro and nano fabrication cleanroom in Stockholm-Kista and together with medical doctors and clinical partners at Karolinska.
Examples of open doctoral positions within specific projects include, but are not limited to:
Novel medical MEMS devices for efficient minimal-invasive cell acquisition for cystic pancreatic lesions: In this project several research challenges in minimal invasive technologies and microfabrication will be addressed, including aspects on how to simulate, fabricate, test, and retain biocompatibility. Your research will be application-focused solving real clinical needs. You will work in a highly innovative environment in close contact with clinical partners.
The doctoral program in Electrical Engineering provides world class quality education, including a large list of graduate courses ensuring an in-depth development of relevant competences and skills.
