Descrizione del lavoro

The laboratory of Assistant Professor (Presidential Young Professorship) Liu Yuxin in the Biomedical Engineering Department at National University of Singapore seeks postdoctoral fellows with strong enthusiasm and interest in flexible electronics, bioelectronics, neurotechnology, and brain‑machine‑interface research.

Biological systems are typically soft and highly dynamic, while conventional implantable electronics are rigid and unable to adapt to the complex biological microenvironment. This leads to a functional and biomechanical gap at the bio‑electronic interface. Through electronic material development and nano/micro‑fabrication innovation, we aim to create next‑generation electronic materials and microelectronics that mimic the properties of biological tissue, autonomously respond to cellular growth, and provide chronic, high‑bandwidth neural‑machine communication at single‑cell precision.

Working with a multidisciplinary team of seasoned clinicians and biologists, we will also develop precision electronic medicine capable of treating chronic diseases via targeted, personalized neuromodulation.

Responsibilities

• Conduct independent, scientifically rigorous research in neurotechnology, bioelectronics, and related areas.
• Design and execute innovative research projects, demonstrating strong critical thinking and experimental design skills.
• Collaborate across disciplines and, where appropriate, lead multidisciplinary projects.
• Support research involving nano/micro‑fabrication, particularly the fabrication of polymeric electronic devices in cleanroom environments.
• Contribute to research activities related to neural interfaces, electronic materials, and bioelectronic systems.

Qualifications

• PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Flexible Electronics, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Strong interest in bioelectronics, neural engineering, and/or flexible electronics, with a commitment to rigorous experimental work.
• Experience with animal or cell culture is advantageous.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

To apply, please send a cover letter, CV and the names of three references (name, institution, email) to Prof. Yuxin Liu ([e-mail]). Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
