This full-time postdoctoral post in Oxford's Department of Engineering Science develops wearable robotic devices for upper-body assistance -- designing and fabricating soft robotic systems, building experimental protocols to evaluate device performance, and working with biomechanics specialists to refine designs from human movement data.
Candidates need a PhD (or near completion) in engineering, biomechanics, robotics, or a related field, experimental-biomechanics experience, practical fabrication skills (e.g. additive manufacturing), soft/wearable robotics background, Python or MATLAB proficiency, and a publication record. The post is UKRI-funded, based in central Oxford, and runs through 31 May 2028; applications close 2 November 2026.
