The Wiersma Lab at the University of Chicago has a postdoctoral
opening for the following project: Development of a real-time robotic
head motion cancellation system based on a 6DOF inverse kinematic
Steward platform (hexapod). This project will be used for precise
patient positioning during stereotactic brain radiosurgery. During
the project the postdoctorial fellow will be expected to:
* play a leading role in the design, construction, and clinical
implementation of the 6DOF robotic Stewart platform.
* provide leadership and mentoring to graduate students.
* publish papers in peer reviewed scientific journals and present
at conferences.
It is expected that the successful candidate will have the following
qualifications:
* hold a PhD in engineering, physics or computer science.
* have experience in the design and control of multi-DOF robotic
systems such as an inverse kinematic hexapod.
* custom linear actuator design, construction, and control
including feedback mechanisms.
* robotic control programming experience (labview, matlab, or C/C++).
Qualified applicants should respond by e-mail as soon as possible to
Prof. Rodney Wiersma
(<mailto:rwiersma_at_uchicago.edu>rwiersma_at_uchicago.edu) with a
