    2 Research Positions in Virtual Reality applied to Robot-Aided Rehabilitation and Obstetrics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland:



    The Sensory-Motor Systems Lab, ETH Zurich & Balgrist University Hospital, is
    offering two research positions on a PhD or postdoctoral level in the field
    Virtual Reality applied to neuro-rehabilitation or obstetrics.



    The focus of the neuro-rehabilitation position is to enhance the gait
    therapy robot Lokomat with an audiovisual display so that the patient can
    immerse into a virtual environment while walking. This should increase the
    motivation of the patient and improve the therapeutic outcome. The goal of
    the obstetrics project is to develop a virtual delivery room and to simulate
    the physiological processes involved during birth in order to enable
    training of obstetricians and midwives, and improve the prediction of birth
    complications.



    In both projects profound engineering background is needed. The rehab
    project requires also experience in electronic hardware design. Both
    positions are embedded in a multi-disciplinary scientific team of engineers,
    physicians, and therapists. We are looking for communicative and qualified
    candidates with MSc or PhD degree and a strong background in biomedical
    engineering. Specific experience in movement science, rehabilitation
    engineering, biomechanics, physiological simulation and control or similar
    fields is advantageous.



    Starting date is negotiable. For questions regarding this position please
    contact Prof. Dr. Robert Riener (riener@control.ee.ethz.ch; Tel.
    +41-44-6326679). If you are interested please send your CV, a brief letter
    of research interest, copies of university attestations and scores, and at
    least 2 reference letters to the following address: Prof. Dr.-Ing. R. Riener
    (riener@control.ee.ethz.ch), Professor for Sensory-Motor Systems, ETH
    Zürich, Physikstr. 3, ETL I 24.2, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland.
