Funded BME PhD positions in human sensorimotor control of upper limbs, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL
The NeuroMechanical Systems Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida has two openings for funded Biomedical Engineering PhD positions available starting Fall 2024. Successful candidates will be working on projects that investigate the human sensorimotor control principles of upper extremity functions, with applications in neurorehabilitation and prosthetics. The positions are fully supported with tuition and stipend.
Research in our lab focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying human manual dexterity and bio-inspired engineering solutions for patients with sensorimotor impairments. The research projects are highly interdisciplinary and integrate human behavioral experiments, electrophysiology (EMG and EEG), robotics, computational modeling, as well as virtual reality. Therefore, successful candidates must have a strong background in at least two of these areas. A track record of peer-reviewed publications is preferred but not required.
Our lab is located at Lake Nona, Orlando, FL. It is part of the UCF’s Biionix cluster (https://www.ucf.edu/research/prosthe...l-engineering/ ), a collaborative effort between the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the College of Medicine. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work with experts with different backgrounds, such as computer scientists, material scientists, and physicians.
