Connectionists: [jobs] Two postdoc openings: model-based control of bio-protective robots for injury prevention and movement restoration

[Massimo Sartori]

Do you want to develop wearable robots for preventing musculoskeletal
injuries in occupational settings, e.g., factory workers performing manual
tasks? Do you want to understand how skeletal muscles change their
biological structure in response to mechanical stimuli and how
rehabilitation robots (e.g., exoskeletons, robotic dynamometers) can steer
such structural changes over time?

The Neuro-Mechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab (Department of
Biomechanical Engineering, University of Twente) is seeking for two
outstanding postdoctoral fellows to work on two large-scale European
projects respectively:

H2020 ERC project INTERACT: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/803035
H2020 RIA project SOPHIA: https://project-sophia.eu

Please, apply exclusively via the links below:

*Postdoc opening 1 (INTERACT project):* Modeling skeletal muscle adaptation
for the control of rehabilitation robots across large temporal scales:
Apply here: *https://www.utwente.nl/en/organisation/careers/!/128/
<https://www.utwente.nl/en/organisation/careers/!/128/>* by September 13,
2021.

*Postdoc opening 2 (SOPHIA project):* Computational models of
musculoskeletal injury prediction and control of bio-protective exosuits:
Apply here: *https://www.utwente.nl/en/organisation/careers/!/127/
<https://www.utwente.nl/en/organisation/careers/!/127/>* by August 31,
2021.

We offer high-reaching positions with a generous allowance as well as
extraordinary research facilities and working environment. Your work will
be facilitated by in-house expertise and mentorship. You will collaborate
with top-scientists on aspects including exoskeleton control, skeletal
muscle modelling, statistical modelling, giving large opportunities for
growth and to perform impactful research!
