The Center for Bioelectronic Medicine (CBEM) at the Feinstein Institute in Manhasset, New York, is recruiting for positions in the fields of Neurophysiology, Neural Engineering, Microfabrication, Biomedical Science, Bioelectronics and Biosensing, and Neural Decoding and Data Analytics.

Please email a CV, a statement of interest (250 words), and contact information for three references to [email protected].

The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York, has multiple openings within its new Center for Bioelectronic Medicine (CBEM) to develop neurotechnology for multiple diseases and conditions. Recruits will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to determine the nature of neural control over molecular, cellular and organ functions of the body, the parts of the brain that regulate those nerves, and the signals that the brain receives to monitor cell and organ function.  Projects will focus on determining which nerve fibers exert control, the types of signals those fibers use, and how these signals can be manipulated to treat diseases and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, paralysis, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cancer and others. Openings are available in the fields of neurophysiology, microfabrication, bioelectronics and biosensing, neural decoding and data analytics.
