都柏林大学生物工程博士后岗位

Institution:

School of Electrical Electronic & Mechanical Engineering, University College Dublin 

Position:

Research Fellow, Biomedical Engin

Application Deadline:  30 October 2007

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to conduct a series of modelling studies to simulate the electrical stimulation of nerve and muscle tissue as part of a recently funded Enterprise Ireland Innovation Partnership grant. This project is a collaboration between Bio-Medical Research (BMR) Ltd., and the Schools of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, and Physiotherapy and Performance Science, University College Dublin. The aim of the project is to develop and refine novel techniques for applying electrical stimulation to obesity management and low back pain rehabilitation.

The work will involve the development of detailed computational models of neuromuscular electrical stimulation using finite element methods. The studies will be conducted in close collaboration with the industrial partners, BMR, to inform the design of a new generation of more effective electrical stimulators.

Candidates should hold a PhD or MSc in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline and should have experience in biological modelling, ideally with a track record in the development of electromagnetic models. Candidates with experience in modelling functional electrical stimulation or finite element analysis methods will be preferred.

The successful applicant will be expected to work both independently and with others in academic and industrial environments. Strong computer, data analysis, written and oral communication skills are required.

Salary in excess of 40,000 Euro
