PhD Position (m/f/d) — Neuro-LAMP

The Professorship of Neuroelectronics at TUM is seeking a PhD candidate for the Neuro-LAMP project. The position is based in the Neuroelectronics group of Prof. Bernhard Wolfrum and is designed as a 4-year doctoral project within an IGSSE International Project Team (IPT) in collaboration with DTU.

Your tasks...

The project focuses on the development of laser-assisted MOF-derived porous nanocomposites for multifunctional peripheral nerve interfaces capable of electrochemical stimulation, recording, and sensing. The successful candidate will work on laser-MOF interaction, and the development of functional electrode materials for implantable neural interfaces. The work includes MOF synthesis and optimization, integration onto relevant substrates, laser-assisted conversion on polymer-based platforms, and electrochemical testing.

Your profile...

We are looking for enthusiastic and ambitious applicants with an excellent master’s degree in chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Materials Chemistry, Experimental Physics, or a related field. Experience in MOF synthesis, porous or nanostructured materials, laser processing, electrochemistry, or materials characterization is desirable.

We offer...

The position offers an excellent interdisciplinary research environment at TUM, close collaboration among TUM Chemistry, TUM neuroelectronics and DTU Nanolab, with an international research stay at DTU.

Application documents:

  • motivation letter,
  • CV
  • academic transcripts
  • degree certificates
  • contact details of referees or recommendation letters
