About this position
RNEL (Rehabilitation and Neural Engineering Laboratory) at the University of Pittsburgh is hiring two postdoctoral researchers focused on spinal cord stimulation.
Position 1 centers on spinal cord stimulation for improving motor function in cerebral palsy. The work includes leading first-in-human clinical trials, designing human electrophysiology experiments, and developing computational models of neural networks. The ideal background includes Mathematics, Physics, Computational Neuroscience, or Neuroengineering.
Position 2 focuses on spinal cord stimulation for arm and hand function after spinal cord injury. The project compares transcutaneous versus epidural stimulation to restore hand and arm function, with responsibilities including clinical trials, stimulation protocol development, neurophysiological data analysis, and subject-specific computational modeling from CT/MRI. The preferred background is a PhD in Biomedical/Neural Engineering, Neuroscience, Rehabilitation, or a related field.
RNEL is a multi-PI environment working at the intersection of engineering, neuroscience, and clinical rehabilitation. The lab notes that postdoctoral fellow opportunities are funded when posted, but no stipend amount is given in this announcement.
Interested applicants should review the full posting and RNEL job opportunities page, then follow the application instructions or contact the lab at [email protected] for more information.
