Switzerland: Post-doctoral position on energy scavenging, power management and wireless communication

Overview

The RF IC group (group SCI-STI-CD) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has one open position within the FP7 European project ULTRASponder "Invivo Ultrasonic Transponder System for Biomedical applications", web page: www.ultrasponder.org

He/She will integrate the European project ULTRASponder for a period of one year. This research project aims at developing new technologies based on ultrasonic telemetry techniques, for communication between one or several sensors deeply implanted in the human body and a control unit which is used for both recharging the implanted devices and transmitting the received information to the external world. Dr. Catherine Dehollain (RF IC group leader) is the coordinator of ULTRASponder.

We are looking for one post-doc specialized in low power microelectronic integrated circuits with strong practical experience in the following topics:

· Design of CMOS low power integrated circuits (analog, mixed-mode and RF blocks)
· Design of CMOS low power integrated circuits for energy scavenging (AC to DC converter, voltage regulator, bandgap reference circuit, power-on-reset circuit, etc)
· Design of CMOS power management circuits to recharge a micro-battery
· Design of CMOS low power transmitter and receiver (LNA, PLL, VCO, mixer, filters, etc) for wireless communications
· Practical experience in the measurements of CMOS integrated circuits
· EDA tools dedicated to the design of integrated circuits (e.g. Cadence environment, Agilent ADS tool, Pspice, etc)


The RF IC group provides a stimulating environment, good working conditions, and collaborations within a team of 10 researchers and PhD students working on related projects.


Starting date: as soon as possible
Contract duration: 1 year

Application requirements

Application has to include a CV, copies of the diplomas, significant published or unpublished papers, motivation letter and three letters of reference (or submit 3 reference names).
