Title: Materials and Tool Development for Neuroscience Research

Location: Army Research Lab – Aberdeen Proving Ground – Aberdeen, MD

Description: This project involves the design and investigation of the mechanical, electrical, biomagnetic, and functional properties of various materials and model tools that will be used for neuroscientific study of tissues such as brain, bone, or skin. The topic contains a broad range of sub-tasks throughout areas of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, materials science, and biochemistry. Example duties may include construction and characterization of materials simulating tissue; investigation of various materials and techniques for appropriateness; design and developing physical models and/or techniques for constructing physical models; use of CAD for model development; or use of additive manufacturing for molds, models, or components. Tasks can range from theoretical development to practical application. A niche can be carved out based on knowledge and interest.

Requirements:

Any of the following:

• Biochemistry lab methods
• Materials manufacturing processes
• CAD design
• Neuroscience research methods
• Additive manufacturing processes
• Time series data analysis

Level: Multiple Classifications

Required Major(s): Mechanical engineering, Biomedical engineering, Electrical engineering, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Physics, Biochemistry, Materials science
