We are seeking

to appoint a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Wearable Technologies for Sport Medicine to work within The Podium Institute for Sports Medicine and Technology at the University of Oxford. The Podium Institute sits within the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) in the University’s Department of Engineering Science and is supported by a £25m 10-year donation to the University. This full-time post is initially fixed-term for 12 months with possible extension for a further 12 months. The Podium Institute constitutes a world-unique ecosystem within which to develop and validate new technologies for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of sport injuries, with emphasis on safety rather than performance. You will be responsible for the design, execution and analysis of the wearable, diagnostic device and signal processing aspects of several world-first multi-modal studies seeking to assess and quantify the effect of repetitive head impacts on short-term and long-term neurological function, including in rugby and snow sports. You should hold or be near completion of a PhD/DPhil in Biomedical, Electrical or Information Engineering or other relevant disciplines, and possess specialist knowledge and experience in data acquisition, signal processing, and data analysis from wearable or non-wearable sensors and devices. You must be able and willing to travel away from Oxford, often at weekends, in order to directly contribute to data acquisition in real-world sport environments including matches, competitions and training involving professional and amateur athletes.
