Post Doctoral Associate-Kozai Lab Bioengineering - Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh - ( 25001816 ) The Department of Bioengineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in the Kozai lab. Incumbent will be responsible for conducting research on implantable neural interfaces, focusing on photostimulation, intracortical microstimulation (ICMS), and neural imaging. This role will involve designing, optimizing, and executing experiments that explore novel photostimulation technologies, particularly in the context of neural prosthetics and artificial sensory perception. The candidate will develop and characterize Wireless Axon stimulators, evaluating their spatial selectivity, stability, and long-term functionality within neural tissue. In addition, the postdoctoral associate will employ in vivo two-photon microscopy and advanced imaging techniques to analyze the activation of different neuronal subtypes in response to stimulation. They will use molecular tools...
