Offer Description

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in computational models of perception and action and an interest in model and algorithm development and revalidation approaches to participate in a consortium project called ’Smart technologies for personalized home care for neurological pediatric patients (RE:HOME)’.

This project, involving partners from France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, is funded by Interreg North-West Europe (NWE), a European Territorial Cooperation programme contributing to a better quality of life and well-being of all NWE citizens. The aim of the RE:HOME project is to build and test a rehabilitation platform that enables home rehabilitation in a safe and controlled way through personalised feedback and monitoring of health data, rehabilitation progress and quality of life. Within this project, you will be involved in developing algorithms for monitoring and assessment of motor behaviour in the hospital and home setting, with an emphasis on sensorimotor integration within the perception-action cycle. Patient studies will be performed to explain human functioning, understand disorders, and test new technologies. You will work closely together with colleagues from the Donders Institute and the Sint Maartenskliniek, a rehabilitation hospital in Nijmegen, and a partner within the consortium. Your responsibilities may also include some management, mentoring (PhD, MSc and BSc), and teaching related tasks.

Requirements
Specific Requirements

• You have a PhD in a relevant field (e.g. sensorimotor neuroscience, human movement sciences, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience).
• You have a demonstrable interest and experience in probabilistic and/or other modelling approaches to sensorimotor control.
• You have good social, communication and organisational skills.
• You are a team player.
