Open Positions

Project/Graduate research position in piezoelectric actuation of cells

  • PROJECT PROPOSAL
    Design and assemble a piezo electric actuating system, capable of applying small loads in tension, compression or bending. The system will be utilized to study biological cells’ response to mechanical stress.
  • REQUIRED PROFILE
    Engineering or Physics student with interest in experimental work, with good proficiency in design and basic electronics/control, programing proficiency and, above all, a high motivation to learn new related subjects.
  • PROJECT EXTENSION
    While the project duration is planned to last 1 year of undergraduate studies, extension to a graduate degree is considerable and willingness to apply for Graduate School is a plus.
  • LOCATION AND CONTACT
    Dynamic Fracture Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technion.
