MATERIALS FABRICATION SCIENTIST - BIONIC EYE PROJECT
Position no.:
0023910
Employment type:
Full-time Fixed Term
Campus:
Parkville
School of Physics, Faculty of Science

Salary: $81,925 - $97,283 p.a. plus employer superannuation contributions of 9%

An exciting opportunity now exists to work within the Bionic Vision Australia (BVA), which is a partnership of world-leading Australian researchers collaborating to develop an advanced retinal prosthesis, or bionic eye, to restore the sense of vision to people with degenerative or inherited retinal disease.

Preliminary work has led to the development of a prototype of the electrode array that will be used by the prosthesis to stimulate the retina. This array is made from polycrystalline diamond using chemical vapour deposition.

You will work with a team at the Melbourne Materials Institute, at the University of Melbourne, to continue the development of this electrode array. In particular you will be responsible for the fabrication of the array. The candidate will also liaise with members of the other partner organisations during the preclinical development and assessment of electrode array.
