Research project: ESR 13 – Definition and validation of adaptive LCE-based instruments
This job includes participation as an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) in an Innovative Training Network (ITN) project. The project partners are developing new technology based on Liquid Crystals. Preceyes participates as an industry end-user. The recruited fellow will provide requirements for surgical instruments and facilitate experimental validation, via the following objectives:
The ESR will perform his activities at Preceyes and secondments will be performed at the Eindhoven University of Technology and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) (Spain).
PhD programme – University: The ESR will not pursue a PhD title. He will, nevertheless, be exposed to the academic environment through secondments and full participation in STORM-BOTS’ network-wide training activities. Also, registration in TUe’s PROOF Programme (transferable skills for PhD students) is expected.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 956150
