Description

Established in October 2022, the Podium Institute sits within the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) in the University's Department of Engineering Science and is supported by a £25m 10-year donation to the University.

It constitutes a world-unique ecosystem within which to develop and validate new technologies for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of sport injuries, with a particular emphasis on safety rather than performance in the community and youth sport years of age).


You will be part of an interdisciplinary team of pioneering researchers, with the primary aim to develop cutting-edge robotics and AI technologies that will revolutionize how we understand and respond to human behaviour in both real-time and long-term contexts.

You will play a crucial role in the design and creation of innovative wearable robotics, sensor technologies, or complex algorithms for human behaviour modeling.

These may include wearable robotics, smart clothing, and any other relevant robotic technologies.

Your responsibilities will encompass developing new robotic hardware and computational models to interpret and predict human behavior using soft sensors, wearable exoskeleton, and advanced simulation.


You will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil with post-qualification experience in the field of robotics, biomedical engineering, information engineering, computer science or other field relevant to the proposed area of research.

You will also have proven programming experience in Python MATLAB or C/C++ and experience on programming microcontrollers for wearable devices.

The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
