About the company Cahira Technologies Inc is an MIT spinoff company (https://www.linkedin.com/company/cahiratech/). We have built the multiple award-winning technology of the

world’s first autonomous and non-surgical neural implants : novel sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the neurons or other biological cells, enabling brain-computer symbiosis beyond conventional brain-computer interfaces. Join us in our exciting journey to define the future of neurotech! About the role We are building a

bioengineering group

to demonstrate the application of our

injectable, wireless nano-implants

to restore eyesight without surgery. This includes demonstrations of electrical neuromodulation using these devices in

retinal explants

and characterizations through

multi-electrode array (MEA)/patch-clamp electrophysiology

followed by

in vivo tests in rodent models

for efficacy (electrophysiology and behavior) and safety. This team will be responsible for end-to-end execution of all pre-clinical experiments required to bring our retinal prosthesis to IDE-enabling stage. Qualifications Required: PhD in neuroscience, vision science, neuro-engineering, biology, bioengineering, biomedical engineering or relevant field Hands-on experience with

small-animal ophthalmology and retinal prosthesis

for electrical stimulation such as bionic eye, photovoltaic implant, wired implant, sub-retinal or epi-retinal implant, injectable neuro-prosthesis, nanoparticles etc. Hands-on experience with

rodent models

such as Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) (rd1, rd10, RCS, S334ter etc) Hands-on experience with rodent (mouse/rats) ocular surgery such as

retina isolation and injections

such as intravitreal/suprachoroidal/sub-retinal/ subtenon injections Hands-on experience with

retinal electrophysiology

(multi-electrode array (MEA) or patch clamping) ex vivo in isolated retina Hands-on experience with

in vivo electrophysiology

such as measuring visual evoked potential and electroretinogram (ERG) Hands-on experience with

characterizing acuity and resolution

through methods such as pattern visual-evoked-potential (VEP) grating-acuity assay, optokinetic/optomotor reflex (OKR) test Hands-on experience with

behavioral vision assays

and tests such as pupillary light reflex, light/dark box, water-maze tests Hands-on experience in preparing

retinal flat-mounts

& cryo-sections; performing histology, immunostaining and confocal microscopy. Preferred Experience: Experience with

data analysis , statistical modeling and programming skills such as MATLAB/Python/COMSOL Experience in building

optical equipment Experience in operating fundus camera &

optical coherence tomography (OCT) Experience with

optogenetics Important:
