[visionlist] Funded PhD position in modelling biological neuro-muscular control in dynamic locomotion with a link to biorobotics (Biomechanics / Biomedical Engineering / (Bio-)physics)

[Compsens]

FUNDED PHD POSITION IN MODELLING BIOLOGICAL NEURO-MUSCULAR CONTROL IN  
DYNAMIC LOCOMOTION WITH A LINK TO BIOROBOTICS (BIOMECHANICS /  
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING / (BIO-)PHYSICS)
We are currently seeking a highly motivated
PHD STUDENT (F/M/D)
 
WE OFFER
a FUNDED RESEARCHER POSITION FOR 36 MONTHS in our project  
„Neuro-muscular contraction in dynamic locomotion“. The project has a  
strong focus on basic research investigating the function of  
biological muscles in locomotion and how to transfer important  
characteristics to novel bio-inspired robotic systems. You will be  
part of an interdisciplinary multi-center research group with muscle  
physiology and biorobotics researchers in a team of at least three PhD  
students. Your contribution will be focused on modelling and  
simulation of neuro-muscular control.
 
Your contract should start in the first half of 2021. Salary will be  
based on previous experience.
 
ABOUT US
You will become a member of the group /Multi-Level Modeling in Motor  
Control and Rehabilitation Robotics/ at the Hertie Institute for  
Clinical Brain Research (HIH) in Tübingen. The project is in  
collaboration with the /Dynamic Locomotion Group/ at  
Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems and the /Department of  
Motion and Exercise Science /at the University of Stuttgart. Our joint  
research environment offers an excellent research infrastructure and  
outstanding graduate schools fostering the development of your career.
 
REQUIREMENTS, CORE SKILLS
The ideal candidate should have


   *   A background in BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, (BIO-)PHYSICS,  
COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE, or closely related
   *   a Masters (or equivalent) degree from a recognized university.  
Near completion can be considered;
   *   Prior knowledge in multi body dynamics modeling, dynamical  
systems, system identification, learning, or optimization, is a plus;
   *   Proficient programming experience in Matlab, Python, or similar
   *   Prior experience with neuro-muscular or musculo-skeletal  
modeling is a plus;
   *   Excellent grades and analytical skills;
   *   Proficient oral and written English skills;
   *   Outstanding candidates with different backgrounds are  
encouraged to apply
 
To apply
 
The position is will remain open until filled. Applications sent  
before March 21st will be prioritised.
 
Please send a Cover letter, CV, and transcript of records, along with  
contact details of two researchers or teachers who would be willing to  
write a letter of reference (we will contact them directly) to:
