Georgia Institute of Technology’s Medical Robotics and Automation (RoboMed) Laboratory is recruiting Postdoctoral researchers for an immediate opening in surgical robotics with a strong emphasis on machine learning . The lab is part of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering and focuses on medical robotics across the micro, meso, and macro scales. The advertised research environment includes work on a robotically steerable guidewire platform for endovascular interventions , along with broader RoboMed themes such as image-guided surgical robotics, haptic interfaces for robot-assisted surgery, reality-based soft-tissue modeling for surgical simulation, model-based teleoperation, and cell manipulation. This is a job-like postdoctoral opening rather than a scholarship. The post does not mention a deadline; applications appear to be reviewed on a rolling basis or until filled. Funding details such as salary or benefits are not specified in the post. Applicants should have expertise relevant to surgical robotics and machine learning. The application package must be submitted as a single PDF by email and should include: a CV with at least three references, at least three papers showing relevant expertise (published, accepted, or in preparation), relevant PhD coursework, and dissertation topic plus expected graduation date for current PhD candidates. Interested candidates should contact Prof. Jaydev P. Desai at Georgia Institute of Technology via the provided email address and review the RoboMed lab website for more information about ongoing research.
