Connectionists: [jobs] Postdoc Research Fellow: Measuring Skeletal Muscle Adaptation to Exercise for Rehab. Robotics; University of Twente

[Massimo Sartori]

The Neuro-Mechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab (Department of
Biomechanical Engineering, University of Twente) is seeking for one
outstanding postdoctoral fellow to work as part of the INTERACT Project,
funded by the European Research Council:
https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/803035
This post-doc opening focuses on the experimental study of skeletal muscle
adaptation and remodeling in response to load and strain across large time
scales, e.g., multiple weeks. The successful candidate will employ
multi-scale measuring techniques to investigate changes in muscle
activation, fascicle length, pennation angle, volume, and force-generating
capacity (e.g., torque and stiffness). This will involve the combined use
of imaging (i.e., ultrasound, MRI), dynamometry and electromyography
techniques.
In you're interested and passionate about investigating how human skeletal
muscles change their biological structure in response to injury and robotic
training, then please read more about the opening from the link below and
apply by November 8th, 2021:
https://www.utwente.nl/en/organisation/careers/!/207/
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 motor unit electrophysiology,
muscle modelling and wearable robotics, giving large opportunities for
growth and to perform impactful research!
The project and the opening have large potential to make high scientific
and industrial impact. Please, contact me if you have any questions.
