Doctoral researcher for \u201cPersonalization of musculoskeletal models, movement analyses and simulations\u201d<\/h2>\n

The Biomechanical Motion Analysis and Creation (BioMAC) group in the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics (ASM) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg (FAU) invites applications for a doctoral position on personalization of musculoskeletal models, movement analyses and movement simulations.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong>
\nThis research is part of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1483 Empatho-Kinaesthetic Sensor Technology (EmpkinS, www.empkins.de), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). In EmpkinS, we investigate novel sensor and data transmission technology, as well as functional models of the human body and algorithms that enable an unobtrusive, contactless acquisition of movement parameters and through these data, insight into the body\u2019s physiological and behavioral state. With around 20 exciting subprojects, 24 principal investigators, and over 30 doctoral researchers working within the CRC, EmpkinS provides a globally visible, highly interdisciplinary, and exciting research environment. We are looking for a doctoral researcher (Dr.-Ing.) to work on the subproject \u201cC01 \u2013 Personalization of musculoskeletal models, movement analyses and simulations\u201d. In C01, we research accessible personalization of musculoskeletal models, movement analyses, and movement simulations. The aim of this research is to understand why individuals move differently and how their movement is influenced by their body composition and its internal state. The doctoral researcher will develop and validate methods to personalize musculoskeletal models from unobtrusive measurements. Furthermore, they will investigate the effect of psychological stress on movement and develop a method to predict movement changes due to such stress. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with clinical and technological experts.<\/p>\n

Work Environment<\/strong>
\nThe BioMAC group is part of the ASM chair at FAU, one of the largest universities in Germany. FAU has faculties in humanities, law, science, medicine, and engineering. FAU\u2019s mission statement \u201cMoving Knowledge\u201d reflects the close collaboration between these faculties. The BioMAC research group is part of the engineering faculty and aims to understand human movement by combining machine learning with physics-based modeling and use this knowledge to improve gait, e.g. by designing better exoskeletons and prosthesis. Detailed information on ongoing projects is available on our website, via our publications and upon request. The doctoral studies are embedded in the CRC\u2019s own graduate school including a structured, interdisciplinary program with other researchers from engineering, humanities, and medicine.<\/p>\n

Requirements:<\/strong>
\nCandidates for this position should have a master\u2019s or comparable degree in Biomedical Engineering or a related discipline (e.g., Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering). Knowledge of one or several of the areas of optimal control, machine learning, or biomechanics is desired. The ideal candidate shows strong enthusiasm towards research, independence, and has excellent teamworking abilities.<\/p>\n

Program details and contact for application\/questions:<\/strong>
\nThe position\u2019s start date is September 1st or later. Funding is available for at least 3 years; an extension is possible. Prospective applicants should apply to the email address listed below with a cover letter, academic CV and a list of courses and grades of their most recent degree. Applications will be processed from May 12th, but accepted until the position is filled.<\/p>\n
