BME Lab, Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), Biel/Bienne, Switzerland
There are currently several open positions for highly motivated and skilled engineers at the BME Lab of BFH-TI in Switzerland.
Job 1 (PhD student): While enrolled at EPFL as a PhD student, you will work on a cutting-edge research project financed by nano-tera.ch (SNF). The goal is to design, build, and optimize demonstrators of a hand and arm prosthesis that allows an amputee to feel touch. To facilitate this, our partners, e.g., at CSEM and EPFL, will embed miniature body sensors in a flexible material to create an artificial skin for tactile prosthetic applications. Your profile: We are looking for an engineer with a master’s degree who will enroll into the doctoral program of EPFL. Further information is available online (http://phd.epfl.ch/page-19784-en.html). Applicants shall be competent in the following areas: electronics, signal processing, control engineering, and related fields.
Job 2 (PhD student): In the field of electrical impedance tomography, we are looking for an engineer with a master’s degrees in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, microtechnology, biomedical engineering, or related fields. Experience on the job is a plus.
Job 3 (engineer with a bachelor’s or master’s degree): For a project that aimes at the development of a device for respiratory training, we are looking for an engineer with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related fields. Experience on the job is a plus.
Example salaries:
- Approx. 82’000 CHF (66’000 €) gross income per year in the case of a full-time employed research assistant with a bachelor’s degree and some previous experience on the job.
