The Wiersma Lab has a postdoctoral opening for the following project:
Development of a real-time robotic head motion cancellation system based on
a 6DOF inverse kinematic Steward platform (hexapod). This project will be
used for precise patient positioning during stereotactic brain radiosurgery.
During the project the postdoctorial fellow will be expected to:
- Play a leading role in the design, construction, and clinical implementation of the 6DoF robotic SRS device
- Provide leadership and mentoring to graduate students
- Publish papers in peer reviewed scientific journals and present at conferences
It is expected that the successful candidate will have the following qualifications:
- Hold a PhD in engineering, physics or computer science
- Have experience in the design and construction of multi-DoF robotic systems
- Custom linear actuator design, construction, and control including feedback mechanisms
- Robotic programming experience (python)
Qualified applicants should respond by e-mail as soon as possible to Dr. Wiersma with a description of their
qualifications, academic background, publications, career goals and availability.
