About this position
This postdoc at Aalborg University’s Faculty of Medicine, Department of Health Science and Technology (HST), focuses on biomechanics and ergonomics with a strong applied and interdisciplinary profile. The project centers on the development, validation, and implementation of wearable sensor technologies for fall prevention and movement assessment, bringing together biomechanical analysis, occupational ergonomics, and human movement science.
HST is described as an interdisciplinary environment where engineering, medicine, and health sciences converge. The department works closely with hospitals, industry, and public-sector partners, and its research spans biomedical engineering, medicine, neuroscience, rehabilitation, digital health, robotics, sports science, physiotherapy, and public health. The successful candidate will join a collaborative research community with access to state-of-the-art facilities and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and external partnerships.
The role includes planning and conducting experimental studies, collecting and analyzing biomechanical and physiological data, disseminating findings through publications and conferences, and contributing to innovation and collaborative research projects. The postdoc is also expected to help shape future research initiatives and support broader activities in the research group and department. Teaching and supervision contributions may include innovation and entrepreneurship at bachelor and master level, as well as courses related to biomechanics, ergonomics, and human movement analysis.
The position is framed within an international department committed to research-led education and real-world collaboration. A professor in the department is listed as the contact for further information, indicating a research environment that combines academic expertise with applied health technology development.
