Postdoc Position In Pain Rehabilitation

Chalmers University Of Technology

Description

This position includes translational research on the treatment of pain using novel devices, as well as brain imaging studies, data analysis, and machine learning to elucidate the working mechanism of the treatments and the condition itself. You will also conduct studies to further improve and develop devices and treatments, with the ultimate goal of relieving people from their chronic and debilitating pain.

Information about the department and the research Our group developed a novel treatment for phantom limb pain (PLP) using myoelectric pattern recognition (machine learning) for the decoding of motor volition, and virtual and augmented reality for real-time biofeedback. This treatment is now used worldwide. However, the mechanism underlying PLP is still unknown. This position is related to the translational research involving clinical, behavioral, and brain imaging studies to better understanding of pain due to sensorimotor impairments and it's treatment.

The position is within the Center for Bionics and Pain Research (CBPR), a multidisciplinary engineering and medical collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg. The mission of CBPR is to develop and clinically implement technologies to eliminate disability and pain due to sensorimotor impairment. The person will be officially employed at the Department of Electrical Engineering, where we conduct internationally renowned research in biomedical engineering, antenna systems, signal processing, image analysis, automatic control, automation, mechatronics, and communication systems.

Major responsibilities Your main responsibilites will include: - Design and implementation of clinical trials. - Design and conduct behavioral and brain imaging studies. - Literature reviews on treatments and epidemiology of pain.

Qualifications To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, rehabilitation, psychology or related field awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). A different position than a postdoc could be open for a senior researcher with exceptional qualifications. The position requires experience in research, study design, and publication. Experience in supervision, clinical studies, animal studies, brain imaging, machine learning, and data science is meritorious.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of three years (two years initially with a possible extension to three years).

We offer Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. Read more about working at Chalmers and our benefits for employees.
