Postdoc: Medical Robotics — Navigation & Endoscope Control

KU; København; Presencial; DKK 520.000 - 620.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

KU invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral position in Medical Robotics, focusing on navigation and control for endoscope devices. The role blends simulation-based learning with real hardware trials, and invites collaboration across a global network in Europe.

The candidate will develop ML-driven motion planning, contribute to high-quality publications, and mentor junior researchers in a multidisciplinary, international setting.

Formación

• PhD in a related field (CS/Robotics/biomedical eng/ME/EM).
• Strong foundation in robotics simulation, control, CV and/or ML for physical systems.
• Experience with numerical optimization for motion planning or reinforcement learning; hands-on with soft robots is a plus.
• Proficient computing and programming (C++/Python) and libraries such as PyTorch, JAX, Warp, Taichi, or ROS.
• Excellent communication in an international research environment.

Responsabilidades

• Technical development and implementation of ML methods for motion planning and control.
• Publish impactful research and present at international conferences.
• Collaborate with industrial partners and academic teams to translate methods to practice.
• Interdisciplinary integration across medical imaging, physics simulation, and robotics.
• Mentorship and participation in team discussions and workshops.
