Postdoctoral in Signal Processing: Chalmers University of Technology is recruiting a qualified candidate for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant position in the division of Signal Processing and Biomedical Engineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering. The position is partially funded by Chalmers and the HybriNeuro project, focusing on investigating motor control in healthy individuals and those with motor impairment, including stroke patients, through advanced signal processing algorithms for electromyographic (EMG) signals.
Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Electromyographic Signal Processing
Designation: Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Research Area: Electromyographic Signal Processing, Motor Control
Location: Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD degree in related fields awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills in English; Swedish language proficiency is not required.
- Previous teaching and pedagogical experiences desirable.
- Sound potential within research and education.
Job Description: The successful candidate will investigate motor control in healthy individuals and those with motor impairment through advanced signal processing algorithms applied to high-density EMG signals. Responsibilities include identifying motor neuron spike trains, contributing to the identification of biomarkers for motor impairment detection, assessing the rehabilitation process, and collaborating with clinicians. Additionally, the role involves testing novel electrodes and optimizing electrode designs through EMG modeling. The position offers opportunities for independent research, teaching at undergraduate and master’s levels, and supervising master’s and/or PhD students.
