Post-doctoral Associate in brain biomechanics is available at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Sensorimotor Control at the University of Colorado Boulder

The Neuromechanics Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, in conjunction with Northwestern University and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on a new research project investigating motor control in a neuroeconomic framework. The project will focus on the role of risk and the subjective valuation of reward in sensorimotor decision-making and control. Candidates will take part in computational modeling of motor control, and the design and supervision of psychophysical experiments.

You
will perform research and development in finite element of soft
materials such as prostate, tumour, and liver. You will also develop new
numerical models and methods for solving soft material non-linear
deformation; establish constitutive model of soft tissues and implement a
fast and robust FEM solver.

At the Institute of Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics (ILSB) of Vienna University of Technology,
vienna, Austria there is an open position for the Lab-Manager of the Laboratory for Nano- and Micromechanics of
Biological and Biomimetic Materials. Click here for details.
