PostDoc Fellowship: Robotic and Electrical Stimulation Platform for Integral Neuromuscular Enhancement (RE-SPINE)
Universiteit Twente
Hours38 hr.Salary indicationSalary gross/monthly
based on full-time€ 4,060 – € 5,331Deadline21 Aug 2025Motor recovery after neuromuscular injuries is often sub-optimal. These limitations largely stem from current rehabilitation technologies operating with limited knowledge of pathology-specific neuromuscular characteristics and their response to prescribed treatments. Based on the technologies created in the NeuBotics Lab, you will develop a platform that:1. Decodes the activity of ankle muscle motor units in real-time .2. Evaluates the impact of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on motor unit activity3. Discerns functional motor units from impaired motor units.4. Estimates the ankle torque contributed from functional motor units and controls an ankle rehabilitation robots .Your tasks will be:As a postdoctoral researcher, you will lead the development and integration of advanced neuromuscular interfacing technologies, musculoskeletal models and personalized rehabilitation interventions. Your core tasks will include:
About the LabThe NeuBotics Lab is a multidisciplinary team at the forefront of neuromechanics and assistive robotics. Our work bridges neuroscience, biomechanics, and robotics to develop real-time models of joint biomechanics and adaptive control strategies for wearable exoskeletons and bionic limbs. You’ll be part of a dynamic, collaborative environment that values innovation, rigor, and translational impact.Your profileRequired Qualifications:
– Motor unit decomposition and design of motor unit filters
– Electromyography and neural signals analysis
– Real-time signal processing and programming (C++, Python, MATLAB)
