Full-Time Postdoc or Graduate student (PhD, MSc)
Job Description
The objective of the sciNeurotech Lab is to provide the cornerstone demonstrations for the next generation of intelligent neurostimulation technology for movement rehabilitation.
We develop new neurostimulation therapies, aiming at restoring sensorimotor function after neurotrauma, translationally from discovery in rodent to application in human medical technology, tailored and personalized to each user by artificial intelligence.
This project is open to postdoc and engineering students, as well as students in neuroscience or related disciplines.
Engineers are required to have strong Python or Matlab coding skills, experience in data science / ML / AI or in neurotechnology. Neuroscientists and related fields must come with experience in system neuroscience or rehabilitation. Coding is a strong asset.
We are committed in training students and postdocs with interdisciplinary backgrounds, biomedical and control engineering, to neuroscience and neurosurgery, to medical technology and AI. This pluralism makes the sciNeurotech Lab a unique environment, characterized by rare intervention models, a strong orientation to discovery and collaboration.
We are convinced that a strong, diverse, and interdisciplinary team is the ultimate enabling factor to help each member achieve their very own education goal, whether that involves a future as a professor, a medtech/AI industry leader or an entrepreneur. We are committed to offer you tailored mentorship for your career choice.

You will develop implantable neuromodulation interventions to improve hand movements after paralysis, in the rat model.
We use implantable brain interfaces to deliver distributed stimulation of the brain movement control networks.
These technique can probe transmission of motor commands between the brain and the hand/arm muscles, with a dual advantage:
1) tracking emergent changes in the brain during motor recovery,
2) controlling and improving motor execution (reversing paralysis deficits!) via neurostimulation and brain-computer interfaces (BCI).
This project will allow you to develop multiple cutting-edge neurotechnology skills:
– recording and decoding brain signals from animal models and humans
– develop and deliver the most advanced neuroprosthetic interventions
– study hand kinematics with an unforeseen degree of precision, enabled by video AI processing
– discover and implement new neuroprosthetic and BCI technology.
