发帖数: 64 | 1 The Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory (NREL) within the
UNC/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering invites applications
for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to advance robotic prosthetics.
Required Qualifications
1. A recent Ph.D. degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or
Biomedical Engineering or related fields.
2. Research experiences in one or more of the following areas: robotic
manipulation and haptics, EMG control of robotic prosthesis, and skeletal
muscle physiology.
3. Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Additional Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in human-related experiments (especially clinical
population), human motor control and learning, design and control of upper
limb assistive devices, and musculoskeletal modeling.
• Programming skills (MATLAB, C++, LabVIEW etc.)
• Record of peer-reviewed publications
The NREL directed by Dr. He (Helen) Huang, Professor, Joint Department of
Biomedical Engineering. This is a great opportunity to work in a highly
multidisciplinary research lab. Here in the NREL at NC State and UNC-Chapel
Hill, we investigate the control mechanism of neuromuscular systems in
normal and neurologically disabled individuals, develop advanced neural-
machine interfacing technologies, and apply these techniques toward neural
control of prosthetics, orthotics, computers, and other assistive devices.
The NREL is part of the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-
Chapel Hill and NC State University. The nationally ranked UNC Hospitals and
School of Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill provide an excellent clinical
environment for trainees to gain experience in medicine, while the College
of Engineering at NC State, one of the finest engineering and computer
science schools in the world, offers state-of-the-art facilities for
students and faculty engaged in vital areas of research and technology
transfer. As a researcher in our joint department, you will have excellent
opportunities to leverage and expand on our existing collaborations with
faculty at both NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill, and with clinicians at the UNC
School of Medicine. We are located in the vibrant Research Triangle area of
North Carolina, one of the fastest-growing tech regions in the US.
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit curriculum vitae, a 1-page
research statement, selected publications, and three references. To learn
more about our research or to submit an application, please contact Dr.
