Recruitments of Postdocs, PhDs, Visiting Professors/Lecturers/Scholars in Medical Robotics, University of York, UK
The Medical Robotics Lab at the University of York has career opportunities in the area of Medical Robotics and Medical Mechatronics. Applications are invited for Postdocs, PhD students, Visiting Professors/Lecturers/Scholars in surgical robotics and related basic science.
We are seeking exceptional, self-motivated individuals to work with an interdisciplinary team to construct and test a novel minimally-invasive device to reach far inside the human body. The research will include mechanical and electronic circuit designs, prototyping and pre-clinical testing of diagnostic and therapeutic devices to address clinical problems. A thorough understanding and hands-on experience of user-centered designs, electronic circuitry, programming and system control in medical applications are highly appreciated. Publication of results is also an integral part of the positions.
Key areas of research include:
• Design, development and experimental validation of mechanical and electronic systems for robot-assisted surgery
• Integration of novel and established tools for controlling and validating the accurate placement of diagnostic and treatment devices
• Investigation of clinical workflows and validation of developed robotic systems in collaboration with clinical partners
We are interested in candidates with a strong background in one or more of the following areas:
• Degree in Mechanical, Electronic, Electrical, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or related fields
• Hands-on experience of engineering designs, circuitry, system control and integration, particularly in mechatronic systems
• Demonstrated capability in designs, fabrications, and testing of novel devices
• Proficiency in LabView, Matlab and SolidWorks
• Hands-on experience of 3D printing, laser cutting, 3D scanning and rapidprototping
• Demonstrated capability in smartphone programming, internet of things (IoT) and RFID applications
In addition, the following skills and experience would be a plus:
• Knowledge in digital imaging, medical imaging (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-ray), and tracking (optical and electromagnetic tracking) and image-guided therapy
• Programming experience in Android Studio, Xcode, App Inventor, C, C++, Python
• Previous experience in medical device prototyping
Candidates will conduct research in the area of minimally invasive interventions in close collaboration with clinical partners.
Entry requirements:
Applicants for the PhD position will be preferred with undergraduate and/or master degrees in Mechanical, Electronic, Electrical, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or related fields. Applicants for the post-doctoral position must hold PhD degrees in the related fields by the time the positions start. Selection and interview process starts on a rolling basis. Please send all inquiries and application materials to medicalrobotics@outlook.com
