Post-Doc Positions at University of New Brunswick (Fredericton) in Exoskeleton Biomec
Post-doctoral fellowship opportunities at the University of New Brunswick (UNB Fredericton, New Brunswick) in partnership with B-Temia Inc. (Quebec City, Quebec), in the area of robotic exoskeleton mobility devices.
This opportunity is funded through a MITACS Accelerate cluster awarded to the Faculty of Kinesiology and Institute of Biomedical Engineering at UNB. Please visit the MITACS website for more information on their programs. http://www.mitacs.ca/accelerate
We are seeking two (2) post-doctoral fellows (PDF) starting as early as May 2014.
Both PDF positions have the following requirements:
1) An earned PhD in the field of Biomedical Engineering, Kinesiology, Human Movement Science and related disciplines from an accredited university;
2) Knowledge and application of musculoskeletal biomechanics in the field of rehabilitation or sport science, as demonstrated by contributions, such as (but not limited to) peer reviewed publications, conference proceedings, technology transfer and other knowledge transfer activities;
3) Demonstrated experience with MatLab/SimuLink, LabView, and/or C++ programming and application development;
4) An interest in pursuing academic research in partnership with industry and willingness to work bi-locally (university and company) ; and
5) Eligibility to work in Canada.
Please consult the following website for UNB School of Graduate Studies for admission requirements.
The PDF positions have the following additional requirements:
PDF #1:
1) Highly experienced in designing, collecting and analysing motion capture data of 3D human movement from a human performance perspective, ranging from walking to running to stair/ramp activities;
2) Experienced in human movement biomechanics and multi-body dynamic simulation techniques from 3D human movement data;
3) Experienced with physiological evaluation of human performance, such as EMG, VO2max, NIRS, exercise modulated biomarkers, etc.; and
4) Experience that includes the above with rehabilitation technologies for assisting mobility and/or agility of people with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders is preferred.
PDF #2:
1) Highly experienced in soft tissue and muscle modelling, including knowledge of finite element models for biological actuator (muscle and tendon) and support (cartilage, ligaments and other soft tissue) systems;
2) Experience in modelling the human-machine interface and multi-body dynamic simulation techniques from human movement data;
3) Experience with integrating muscle and soft-tissue physiology and morphology into biomechanical models; and
4) Experience that includes the above with rehabilitation technologies for assisting mobility and/or agility of people with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders is preferred.
These positions are fully funded for 2 years at a minimum of $40,000 CND/year.
The successful applicants will be required to spend 50% of their time working directly with our industrial partner.
Please send CV and cover letter (identifying the PDF position being applied for and relevant research background) to:
