For a highly innovative research project we are looking for a motivated research fellow with the option to complete an MD-PhD program. The aim of the current project (HEADWIND) is the design and development of a novel automated hypoglycemia warning system in cars to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia-associated driving mishaps. The candidate is expected to set up the study according to the protocol and to perform the hypoglycemic clamps in a driving simulator and in real cars under supervision of an experienced senior researcher.
The candidate should have completed a medical degree and be interested in clinical research and modern diabetes technology. Preference is given to candidates with a background in clinical research and/or diabetes technology, but willingness to embrace a novel and highly innovative research field will be appreciated adequately. Experience in statistics, grant application and ethical proposal is highly welcome.
We offer a highly dynamic and stimulating academic environment in a newly established research facility (DCB) with state-of-the-art facilities and within a multidisciplinary research team. The funding of the HEADWIND project is granted by an "SNF Sinergia" grant, thereby translating into the usual Swiss salary conditions for MD-PhD students guaranteed over the project duration (4 years).
As a leading university hospital with a rich tradition, the Inselspital is part of the Insel Group and is a centre of medical expertise and high technology with an international reputation as well as being a first-class training and research centre.
