Postdoctoral Position In Microfluidics For Neural Organoid Network Engineering - Zeneuroid - (Q546)

The project "ZeNeuroid" aims to develop a standardized and automated human-based neural organoid network on-a-chip for drug screening purposes. The part of the project developed at the University of Barcelona is related to developing the microphysiological platforms using microfabrication technologies and validating them.

The postdoctoral researcher will have to validate the technologies with iPSC derived neuronal cell lines and the 3D neural network cultures, perform connectivity studies, adapt the 3D cultures to the microphysiological platform, and perform neural activity and connectivity characterization using calcium imaging techniques.

The selected candidate will work in close collaboration with our industrial partner, the company ZeClinics, who is responsible for developing the biological model of the neural organoids.

The postdoctoral researcher will also take care of the scientific management of the project, together with the PI. In this regard, she/he will also co-supervise other students and research assistants working on the project.

Gross salary per year: 35,000 €.
