Postdoctoral Scholar
The Bionic Systems Lab (https://bsl.engr.ucr.edu) at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the area of assistive wearable robots for the lower extremities. Candidates with a background in mechanical design, (soft) robotics, and human-robot interaction will be considered. The hiring is immediate.
The Scholar will join a dynamic group of researchers working at the forefront of human-robot systems. We design, build, and experimentally test wearable and assistive robots, active prostheses and orthoses, neuroprostheses, and collaborative robots.
Prospective applicants should hold a PhD degree in mechanical engineering, or other related disciplines. Strong research and publication background is required. Fluency in English speaking/writing is required. Experience with fabrication/design of soft pneumatic-based actuators, textile/garment fabrication, and physical human-robot interaction is highly desired. The initial term of appointment is funded for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
