Offer Description
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
The Rehabilitation Engineering and Robotics laboratory at UCD, led by Dr. Donal Holland and Dr. Giacomo Severini, is carrying on a research project (the ReHAPT project) that aims at developing a novel robot-based lower limb training strategy for rehabilitation of stroke survivors. The rehabilitation strategy is based on the use of predictive neuromechanical modeling for designing the assistance/resistance force patterns deployed by a robotic prototype for lower limb training previously developed in the lab. The prototype is called the HaCT system and is based on a stationary pedaling system design. There are two main scientific components in the ReHAPT project, the modeling component and the robotic component.
This position is a Post Doctoral role in the robotic component of the project. The aim is to develop the low-and high-level control strategies for the HaCT robot, which consists of 3 motors shaping the kinematic and kinetic trajectories of the lower limb.
This is a research focused role, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training and development under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator.
The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and competences, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.
Post Doc Level 1 Salary Range: €42,783 - €46,569 per annum.
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 10th July 2024.
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.

Prior to application, further information (including application procedure) should be obtained from the Work at UCD website: https://www.ucd.ie/workatucd/jobs/
