The Neuro-Mechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab is seeking for a distinguished post-doctoral fellow to work within the ERC project INTERACT. You will join an international team working on a high-gain/high-risk project at the frontiers of neurophysiology, biomechanics and robotics, i.e. also see http://bit.ly/NMLTube.
The opening
You will:
We offer a high-reaching full-time 3-year positions with a generous allowance as well as extraordinary research facilities and working environment. Please, apply exclusively via the link below no later than November 30th, 2020:ERC project INTERACT aims to develop predictive models of the neuromuscular system to establish new closed-loop control methods for robotics-based neuro-rehabilitation. With a focus on spinal cord electrical stimulation and robotic exoskeletons, we will demonstrate how motor dysfunction is repaired by robotically inducing optimal changes in neuromuscular targets.
European Research Council (ERC)'s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support the best of the best in Europe's frontiers research (https://erc.europa.eu)
The University of Twente. We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that matter. New technology which leads change, innovation and progress in society. We have a strong focus on personal development and researchers are given scope for carrying out groundbreaking science (https://www.utwente.nl/en).

The opening
You will:
- create radically new computational models to predict how muscles change their biological structure in response to neurological injuries and robot-assisted training.
- design and conduct multi-week experiments on healthy and post-stroke individuals to induce targeted muscle adaptation, i.e. muscle lengthening, strengthening.
- record and analyse, on a week-by-week basis, neuromuscular data: high-density electromyography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, fluorodeoxyglucose.
- Translate muscle adaptation models into wearable rehabilitation technologies.
