4 Postdoc/PhD Positions at Interface of Neuroscience and Roboti

IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
Department of Bioengineering 4 postdoc or Ph.D. positions at the interface of Neuroscience and Robotics

We have recently received funding from the EU-FP7 for four positions to investigate how humans physically interact and adapt their control to perform efficient manipulation.
Ideal candidates will have a strong background in robotics/mechatronics, physics, control, or neurophysiology, neurorehabilitation or fMRI. They should have potential for excellent research and the capability to collaborate within an interdisciplinary research group with people from all these disciplines. They should be highly motivated to use robotics and control techniques for tackling fundamental issues in motor control/ learning, or in the rehabilitation after neurological disorders.

Applicants for a postdoc position should have obtained, or be about to obtain, a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant subject. Applicants for a Ph.D. position should have an MSc degree, although exceptional candidates with a BSc degree will be considered. Applicants with a bursary or a fellowship who want to participate in this research are also welcome.

Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (http://www.imperial.ac.uk) is a leading technological university with a global reach and Neurotechnology has been selected as a strategic
development area. The Human Robotics group at Imperial College (http://www.bg. ic.ac.uk/ staff/burdet/ Home.html) carries out research at the interface of robotics and neuroscience, from neurophysiological studies and computational modelling to robotic implementations, VR-aided neuro-rehabilitatio n and assistive devices.

Enquiries about these positions or applications can be made to Etienne Burdet (http://www.bg. ic.ac.uk/ staff/burdet/ Home.html, e.burdet@imperial. ac.uk) adding the title `Human Robotics Position´and your name as the subject of your email.

To apply please submit a CV, a brief expression of interest describing why you are interested by this position and you qualify for it, the names of suitable referees, and scans of your academic
transcripts should be sent to e.burdet@imperial. ac.uk.
