Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Biomechanical Modelling and Wearable Robotics Closing date: Nov 02, 2026
University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science
Oxford, United Kingdom · Autonomy, Planning & Controls
The postdoctoral researcher will build musculoskeletal models that predict muscle forces and joint loads when a wearable robot assists movement. Tasks include simulating human-robot interaction to set force and timing requirements, using optimisation to guide actuator placement and device design, and validating models against motion, force and EMG data with experimental colleagues.
