[Comp-neuro] Postdoctoral Positions in Biomechatronics and Motor Control

The Biomechatronics Lab at the University of São Paulo (Brazil) is offering several one-year (with the possibility of another year extension) Post-Doctoral positions in the project "Gait Control: Peripheral and central mechanisms explored in experiments, models and robots".

The chosen candidates will participate in a project funded by the National Research Council of Brazil (CNPq) under the Science Without Borders Program. The project is coordinated by Prof Arturo Forner-Cordero in collaboration with Professors Jacques Duysens and Felipe P. Carpes.

It is expected that the candidate, while based at the University of São Paulo, will perform part of the research at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Universidade Federal do Pampa. In addition, it is expected to participate in other activities of the lab such as the organization of the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics that will be held in São Paulo (Brazil) in August 12-15, 2014 (http://www.biorob2014.org/).

Candidates with background in robotics, motor control, human movement science, biomechatronics, neuroscience or related fields should send a copy of the PhD Thesis and the Diploma along with an updated Curriculum Vita to Prof. Arturo Forner-Cordero to the email account aforner@usp.br with the subject: "POSTDOC POSITION CNPq".
