Are you a highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher looking to make a difference in the field of AI applied in Healthcare? Join us at the Spinal Cord Injury Artificial Intelligence - SCAI Lab at ETH Zurich.
Our team of clinical and research scientists is dedicated to improving healthcare systems using physiological and clinical information analysis for a closed-loop decision support systems in rehabilitation in many health conditions.
This position is open for a postdoctoral researcher in the field of generative design for exoskeletons and orthosis. Focused on developing a novel method for autonomous design of 3D shapes fitting to the user body and optimizing the design to the desired assistance.
Dr Diego Paez-Granados in collaboration with Prof. Robert Riener (SMS Lab) will supervise the successful engineer.
The position is fully funded for 2 years. A potential extension to a doctoral position can be considered upon performance.
Ideal starting date: July 2024 (or shortly thereafter).
The goal of this project is to leverage advanced machine learning to develop an automated design process of mechanical walking aids, analyse gait patterns and make biomechanical simulations embedded in the generative mechanism design process. As a team member, you will experience a range of exciting challenges, including the development of innovative technologies for patient usage, and developing standardization methods for customizing aids.
You will be based at ETH Zurich and collaborate with the team at the Swiss Paraplegic Center (SPZ) in Nottwil and an industrial in our shared project.
The goal of this project is to leverage advanced 3D shape construction through generative design for the structural improvement of walking aids with the support of novel expert knowledge included in the design and fabrication.
If you are a highly motivated and creative individual with a passion for innovation, we want to hear from you.
Join us and help shape the future of 3D design and additive manufacturing for mechanical and mechatronic aids.
To become part of an ambitious, research team offering an outstanding research environment, full access to extensive facilities and great team spirit in close collaboration with international academia and industrial partners.
This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of cutting-edge research in AI for human modelling and fitting, working with state-of-the-art technology and collaborating with a highly motivated research and industrial team.
We offer a full-time research assistant/engineer position (100% or as agreed ) with a competitive salary in accordance with ETH standards. Work location ETH Zurich / Nottwil with flexibility for remote work possible.
