The Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory (NREL) within the UNC/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering invites applications for one or two Research Assistants to advance robotic prosthetics.
Required Qualifications:
1. A recent B.S./M.S. degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Automation, Computer, or Biomedical Engineering or related fields.
2. Research experiences in one or more of the following areas: robotics, signal processing and classification, exoskeleton, and control.
3. Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Additional Preferred Qualifications:
; Experience in human-related experiments (especially clinical population), human motor control and learning, design & control of assistive devices, embedded system design, mobile app development, and musculoskeletal modeling.
Programming skills (MATLAB, C/C++/C#, LabVIEW, Python, etc.)
Record of peer-reviewed publications
The NREL directed by Dr. He (Helen) Huang, Professor, at the UNC/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. This is a great opportunity to work in a highly multidisciplinary research lab. Here in the NREL at UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State, we investigate the control mechanism of neuromuscular systems in normal and neurologically disabled individuals, develop advanced neural-machine interfacing technologies, and apply these techniques toward neural control of prosthetics, orthotics, computers, and other assistive devices.
The NREL is part of the UNC/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. The nationally-ranked UNC Hospitals and School of Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill provide an excellent clinical environment for trainees to gain experience in medicine, while the College of Engineering at NC State, one of the finest engineering and computer science schools in the world, offers state-of-the-art facilities for students and faculty engaged in vital areas of research and technology transfer. As a researcher in our joint department, you will have excellent opportunities to leverage and expand on our existing collaborations with faculty at both NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill, and with clinicians at the UNC School of Medicine. We are located in the vibrant Research Triangle area of North Carolina, one of the fastest-growing tech regions in the US.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply through the standard application procedure of the Department of Biomedical Engineering through the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill or North Carolina State University. To be considered, please mention Dr. He Huang as potential mentors.
You are also encouraged to submit curriculum vitae, GRE score, and transcripts to 1point3acres.com for an evaluation. nrel.web.unc.edu
