Immediate postdoctoral position in soft robotics at USC

The Zhao Research Group (https://sites.usc.edu/zhaogroup/) in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at University of Southern California is seeking applications for an immediately available postdoctoral position in soft robotics. The objective of this project is to develop novel dexterous soft robotic manipulators incorporating advanced sensors, actuators, and closed-loop control. This is a fully funded position with an initial appointment of one year, with a strong potential for extension to 2-3 years.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, electrical engineering, or other related disciplines. Prior research experience in soft robotics is also required.

Interested candidates are encouraged to email Prof. Hangbo Zhao (hangbozh@usc.edu) with your CV (with contact info for at least 2 references) and relevant publications in soft robotics.
