Postdoctoral Fellowship in Wireless Medical Devices

Overview

Dr. Roy and his team are working closely with clinicians and engineers associated with the UCSF Pediatric Device Consortium (PDC) to develop medical devices for pediatric patients. The PDC has a mission to help inventors of pediatric medical devices move ideas from concept to reality by providing a range of services including clinical needs assessment, device prototyping, regulatory guidance, and access to commercialization partners.

Requirements

The successful candidate must have a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or closely related field. Research will encompass a combination of hands-on design and fabrication of implantable or wearable electrical and electronics circuits for wireless telemetry, sensor interfaces, signal conditioning, and power.Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, and the willingness to collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment are essential. Proficiency with CAD tools, electronics testing equipment, and rapid prototyping is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the Biomedical Microdevices Laboratory (BML), led by Dr. Shuvo Roy, to work on the development of smart implants for medical applications. Projects in the BML include miniature sensors, remotely-powered actuators, portable data loggers, and catheter microtools.
