Within the FAPESP Sweetmotion (www.sweetmotion.org) we have a vacancy for a position with a duration of 12 months to develop a magnetic actuation system for a stent with artificial magnetic cilia. The stent is provided by our partner groups in Brazil. It will be your task to develop the magnetic system to achieve cilia motion. During the one year project you will work for three months at the laboratories of the Brazilian partners in the project.
Job requirementsYou have obtained a PhD in the field of experimental magnetism. You will need to advise the partners in the SweetMotion project on the design of magnetic materials, so you have a strong background knowledge on magnetic materials and possess excellent communication skills. You will work with our team to develop the magnetic actuation system, so we expect you to have experience in working in an international environment and possess excellent team working skills. Since you will work for a long period in Brazil, we expect you to be independent and self?'steering.

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceThe Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future?'proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment - which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground?'breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
