The Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory (NREL) at the UNC/NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to help advance upper limb prosthesis control.
Required Qualifications:
A recent Ph.D. degree in Biomedical, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering or related fields.
Research experience in advanced signal processing, intramuscular or surface EMG measurement, and/or upper limb motor control.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Additional Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in neuromuscular physiology, musculoskeletal modeling, and dynamic simulation.
Programming skills (MATLAB, C++, etc).
Record of peer-reviewed publications.
This is a great opportunity to work in a highly multidisciplinary research lab. Here in 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. 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, one of the fastest growing tech regions in the US.
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a 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 us: nrel.ncsu@gmail.com.
