Senior Research Associate in Microstimulation
The role
This role will be based at the University of Bristol’s School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, as part of an EPSRC New Investigator Award project investigating “Bridging artificial and biological touch through microstimulation”.
We are looking for a skilled and motivated independent microneurographer to run microstimulation experiments on human participants. to enable them to feel sensations from an artificial touch sensor, bridging the gap between artificial and biological touch.
You will be part of a team comprising Dr. Benjamin Ward-Cherrier, Dr. Jim Dunham, Dr. Rochelle Ackerley and a Research Associate focussed on developing electronic components for microstimulation.
What will you be doing?
As part of this role, you will be designing an experimental setup for microstimulation in the median nerve at the wrist in collaboration with a Research Associate with expertise in Electronic Engineering.
Your main responsibility will be running microneurography and microstimulation experiments with the developed setup to investigate tactile discrimination capabilities and the long-term potential of single-afferent tactile stimulation for prosthetic systems.
