Interest in interdisciplinary research activities a
must. Remuneration: the best in the market. Consideration
will be given to any outstanding research proposals. No
part-timers, please.

Starlab is a place where a 100 years means nothing. Here,
you will find world-class research scientists not only doing
what they do best, but also creating wealth through the
entrepreneurship and spin-offs of their scientific ideas and
inventions. Starlab's strength lies in the cross-fertilization
of multiple disciplines grouped according to Bits, Atoms,
Neurons, and Genes (BANG). Book a place on this adventure
as Starlab takes you through time and space, riding on the
wave of an impending IPO.

Senior Scientist (Robotics):The candidate is expected to
help the leading of the robotics research at Starlab. He
should have a PhD level or more experience in robotics with
an active research record. The ideal candidate has been
involved in the writing and leading of robotics projects,
is experienced in electromechanical building of robots and
has a good grasp of ADAPTIVE METHODS such as NEURAL NETWORKS
and genetic algorithms.

Research Scientist (Robotics):The candidate is expected
to involve in research projects which wil include
electromechanical robot building, programming. He should
have an MS level or more experience in robotics with
experience in electromechanical building of robots and
a proven competence in programming. Having experience in
building robot simulators and using ADAPTIVE METHODS such
as NEURAL NETWORKS and genetic algorithms would be a plus.

Research Scientist (Robotics): In this position you will
be developing hybrid robots. You will be working on the
boundary between wearables research, intelligent clothing,
augmented reality and robotics, and will be linking into
BIOLOGICAL and NEUROSCIENCE as well. You will need knowledge
of and experience in wearables research, embedded computing,
sensor technology and DSP. You will also need an interest
in PHYSIOLOGY and BRAIN SCIENCES.

please.

Senior Scientist to lead the Marine biology group:  The tasks
include setting up a research team. This includes ordering
and setting up equipment, possibly including a small research
submarine (!), and creating and leading a small (3-5-person)
research group. Starlab wants to create a marine biology
research center in Barcelona, focusing on extremophiles
and ocean pollution studies. Applications are invited from
candidates with a Ph.D. in marine biology. The applicant
should have a proven record of scholarly publication, as well
as several years of postdoctoral experience in the field

Senior Scientist to lead the Genes group:  The tasks
include creating and leading a small (3-5-person) research
group. Our goal is to build a center for gene therapy ("virus
domestication lab" in the case of viral therapy) in Starlab
Barcelona. Applications are invited from candidates with a
Ph.D. in genetics and experience in viral therapy.

Robotics or AI Senior Scientist:  The candidate is expected
to lead the robotics and AI research at Starlab Barcelona. He
should have a Ph.D. level or more experience in robotics and/or
AI with an active research record. The ideal candidate has been
involved in the writing and leading of AI/robotics projects,
is experienced in electromechanical building of robots and
has a good grasp of adaptive/evolutive methods. Possible
focus on multi-robotics and emergence. This research
will partially be conducted remotely using the CAM-BRAIN
computer at Starlab Brussels. Electronics Hardware Engineer
for the Earth Observation Group. The tasks include ordering
components and setting up the relevant equipment as well as
the necessary skills to develop RF hardware prototypes for
GPS applications, as well as writing the appropriate embedded
software. Applications are invited from candidates with a
M.Sc. or PhD in Electrical/Electronics Engineering with GPS
experience.

Senior Scientist EEG Analysis/Sleep Lab:  We are seeking a
project leader to build an EEG lab to study memory formation,
develop novel diagnostic tools, and carry out research in
sleep/lucidity. The chosen candidate will have the resources to
put a team together and buy the necessary equipment. Candidates
should have the necessary experience, including directing the
construction work needed (Faraday cage, etc). The EEG team will
have the opportunity to work closely together with outstanding
signal processing specialists from the Future Earth Observation
Systems group, as well as with the AI and neurology teams.

Lab technician position in the Neurons Group:  The applicant
will be involved in neurodegeneration and neurogenesis
research projects by combining neuroanatomical and molecular
approaches. We are looking for highly motivated and open-minded
people. Preference is given to technicians with experience in
morphological and/or molecular Labs.

Systems Manager:  The tasks include ordering components and
setting up the relevant equipment, and the necessary skills to
