The University Hospital of Lausanne (UNIL-CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland) is seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow in the field of Biomedical/Rehabilitation Engineering. The candidate will contribute to the development of a biofeedback system to assist individuals with musculoskeletal disabilities. The project is carried on by an international multidisciplinary team, including Mechanical and Computer Science Engineers, Orthopedic Surgeons, and Physical Therapists. The candidate’s contributions will specifically include the development of (software) modules to measure lower limbs movement using inertial sensors and modules to analyze the movement in order to control the feedback interface.
Applicants must have completed a graduate degree (Ph.D.) in Electrical/Mechanical/Computer Science Engineering, Biomechanics, Human Movement Science, or a related field. Candidates with an undergraduate degree (M.Sc.) and several years of experience in the domain are also invited to apply. The applicant must have experience in processing of inertial sensor signals and characterization of human movement. Strong skills in computer programming (C, Objective-C, and Matlab) are also required. Clinical experience related to Orthopedic Surgery, Sport Medicine, or Rehabilitation would be highly desirable. Fluency in English (written and oral) is important; however ability to communicate in French is not necessary. Additional tasks include active participation in project management and students supervision.
This one-year position has a competitive salary and the project offers possibilities for extensions to either more clinically-oriented research or industry transfer. The expected start date is March 2015, but this date can be adapted based the candidate’s obligation. If interested, please, send a cover letter, notably describing how candidate’s experience and skills fit with the position, curriculum vitae, along with contact information for three references to Dr. Julien Favre (julien.favre at chuv dot ch) with "SBML Biomedical/Rehabilitation Engineering Position" in the subject header.
