PhD Scholarships, Stroke Rehabilitation Robot, the Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences, the University of Luebeck, Germany

The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Stroke Rehabilitation Robot “ in the research field of Robotics and Neuro-Rehabilitation.

The robots under investigation must have novel sensory capabilities to adapt to the patient’s individual needs. Interdisciplinary tracks of developments would aim at cheap, yet precise sensor-actuator combinations, high acceptability by ergonomic and psychologically optimised appearance, interactivity by smart sensors and signal analysis as well as therapeutically optimised movement paradigms.

PhD scholarship amounts to 1250 € per month. Students with a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering are invited to apply for admission. The application deadline is January 15, 2009. In certain cases, students must submit, as part of their application, the results of one of the acknowledged language tests to prove their English proficiency.
