The Schools of Engineering (STI), Life Sciences (SV) and Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) at EPFL invite applications for a tenure-track assistant faculty position to hold the Medtronic chair in Neuromodulation within the Neuro X Institute.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, adaptive neuromodulation, minimally invasive techniques, ultrasound and endovascular applications, AI-based approaches, targeted pain modulation, and neuroinflammation.
The EPFL Neuro X institute fosters interdisciplinary research and is committed to lead technological advances and translating this innovation from preclinical research to the clinical environment. We anticipate the new faculty member will be able to build scientific interactions within the EPFL community, neighbouring institutions, and with partner hospitals along the Lemanic Arc.

A doctorate will be required at the starting date. The candidate is expected to develop an independent and competitive research program in a multidisciplinary environment. The faculty member will supervise their own PhD students and engage with researchers in related fields across the EPFL campus. The successful candidate must have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and contribute to education programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
