Postdoctoral Positions in Medical Robotics, University of Twente, Netherlands

MIRAInstitute of Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine at the University of Twente, The Netherlands has an opening for two post-doctoral fellows within the research area of Medical Robotics.

What we ask
The successful applicant has completed a doctoral degree in mechanical, biomedical, or electrical engineering, or in a closely related discipline. He or she should possess excellent skills and practical experience in one or more of the following research areas: solid mechanics, finite element modeling, and image processing. Experience at the intersection of one or more of these areas is desirable. Experience with programming and using a commercial finite element analysis package is a plus. An interview will be part of the selection procedure.

About the project
Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized medicine by enabling interventions without large incisions, thereby significantly improving clinical outcomes. Such surgical techniques include insertions of needles, catheters, and endoscopes. For effective medical diagnosis and treatment, the instrument must reach its intended target. In order to increase the targeting accuracy of the procedure and improve clinical outcomes, the goal of this research project is to develop methods for modeling the interaction of existing and novel medical instruments with soft tissues and with fluids. These models would be used to track and control the path of the medical instrument using a clinical imaging modality such as ultrasound. The applicant will be closely working with the Clinical Physics Laboratory and Department of Radiology at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Netherlands.

PhD Scholarship in Biomechanics / Biorobotics, Bielefeld University, Germany

A PhD scholarship in Biomechanics/Biorobotics has been announced under the EU-FP7 program at Bielefeld University, Germany. In the EU-funded FP7-Project EMICAB (Embodied Motion Intelligence for Cognitive, Autonomous Robots), the University of Bielefeld (Germany) invites applications for a part-time position as research assistant (PhD student) for the duration of three years. The positions are remunerated 50% of E13 (according to TV-L West, German public service). The salary scale typically ranges between 19200 and 22400 Eur p.a., depending on work experience.

The positions on offer are embedded into an excellent interdisciplinary environment with intensive contacts to various facilities and workgroups of Bielefeld University. In particular, this includes the Center of Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology, CITEC. The EU-project (www.emicab.eu) as a whole is formed by the Biomechatronics lab and the Neuroethology lab of Bielefeld University (coordinator), a Systems Engineering lab at the University of Catania, Italy, a Sensor Technology lab at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, and a Neurogenetics lab at the University of Mainz, Germany.

Goal of the EMICAB-project is the abstraction of neuro-ethological and neuro-genetic research results in the context of autonomous walking movements to generate artificial neural network models for intelligent behaviour. In parallel, a novel six-legged walking robot is being assembled and – within the project – expanded by rich body sensorisation and additional actuation.

The position is in the area of Neuroethology/Biomechanics with a relation to Biorobotics. The successful candidate should hold a master or diploma degree, preferably in biology or neuroscience. Advanced experimental and theoretical skills in Neurobiology (sensorimotor systems) and/or Biomechanics (whole-body kinematics, force measurements) are advantageous as well as sound experience in the analysis of multi-dimensional data. Candidates with a background in a related area within the computer sciences (e.g. bio-inspired robotics) are also encouraged to apply. Participation in administrative and organizational tasks of the EU-project is also expected. The position is suited to conduct a PhD-project.

European Master on Advanced Robotics (EMARO) Scholarships, Erasmus Mundus

EMARO, European Master on Advanced RObotics, is an integrated Masters course conducted by three European institutions and three Asian institutions :

  • Ecole Centrale de Nantes – France (coordinator),
  • Warsaw University of Technology – Poland ,
  • University of Genova – Italy,
  • Asian Institute of Technology – Thailand,
  • Faculty of Science and Technology in Keio University – Japan,
  • Shanghai Jiao Tong University – China

Objectives:
The Masters is designed to promote a high-quality educational offer in the area of advanced and intelligent robotics. After graduation the students will have mastered the different areas of robotics (Mathematical modeling, Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical design) in order to be able to deal with Robotics systems as a whole rather than just to concentrate on one particular area. The career prospects for EMARO graduates are very good as the proposed courses are relevant to today’s high technology society and because the current output of universities is insufficient to meet the demands of industry and research programmes. Students may take the master as a professional terminal degree, or join PhD programmes afterwards.

Duration and mobility:
The programme of study lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) split into four equally loaded semesters. The student has to spend the first two semesters in one institution and the second two semesters in another institution.

Master Scholarships in VIsion & roBOTics (VIBOT), Erasmus Mundus, Europe

The VIBOT Master is divided into four semesters designed and developed to ensure a clear and structured educational progress in the field of computer vision and robotics, fully integrated among the three universities of the consortium:
* semester 1 (UB): fundamentals on image processing, sensors and acquisition, mathematics and computer sciences, are taught (basis) ;
* semester 2 (UDG): improvements on image processing and pattern recognition, complements on computer vision and medical imaging and an introduction on robotics are delivered (reinforcement);
* semester 3 (HWU): high-level processing and methods are introduced for real-time implementation and integration of vision and robotics (capitalization);
* semester 4 (research lab or company): research training in an applied or academic context (going further)

The overall objective is to start from science fundamentals and low-level image processing, and then to introduce mid-level image processing, computer vision and applications in medical imaging and to end with robotics and high-level integration so that the main methods and algorithms in the state-of-art of computer vision and robotics (through both a theoretical and applied point of view) are covered.

An induction week is organized each year in September during which the enrolled students are informed about the programme, the assessment and the rules. The induction week also permits new students to meet second-year students or former VIBOT students.

You can apply to VIBOT as a student or as a scholar (academic visitor). In the former case, prospective applicants are asked to first compile and submit the application form following criteria and requirements. In the latter case, read the Academic Visitors menu, then compile and submit the application form.
