PostDoctoral Fellowship (3 year): Robotic Systems for 3D Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering!
Are you fascinated by breakthrough Rehabilitation Robotic technologies? Do you have a passion for designing and developing robotic systems for skeletal muscle regeneration? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you at the Neuro-Mechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab (http://bit.ly/NMLab)!
About the Position: We are seeking an exceptional post-doctoral fellow to join our new Project ROBOREACTOR, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). You will develop a robotic system to mechanically and electrically stimulate skeletal muscle tissues engineered in vitro from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. This is a 3-year position!
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop the robot for tissue pacing.
- Select biocompatible materials for the robot structure.
- Choose sensors compatible with cell culture incubators, visible light, fluorescence microscopy, and stimulation electrodes.
- Develop low-level controllers for tissue strain and electrical activation.
- Conduct in vitro experiments to assess the robot’s efficacy in promoting muscle tissue growth.

PhD Candidate: Characterization of Structural Remodelling in Tissue-Engineered Human Skeletal Muscles During Multi-Week Eccentric Training
Are you passionate about developing breakthrough Regenerative Robotic technologies to restore movement after neuromuscular injuries like stroke? Do you want to explore how skeletal muscles remodel their structure under electrical and mechanical stimuli over multiple weeks? Join us at the Neuro-Mechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab (http://bit.ly/NMLab) to work on the newly funded project ROBOREACTOR, funded by the European Research Council (ERC).
What We’re Looking For:
- A deep understanding of skeletal muscle physiology.
- Enthusiasm for working in cell culture labs to create hashtag#TissueEngineered skeletal muscles in vitro from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).
- Skills to design four-week eccentric training protocols and analyze morphological changes in the muscles.
- Ability to learn and apply computational modeling to predict muscle remodelling during the training.
