The University of Eastern Finland is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in Medical Interactive Technologies on the Joensuu Campus. The position will be filled for a 2-year term from 1.3.2022 (or as agreed). Please find more information below and submit your application no later than 25.2.2022. We are looking for a highly motivated and self-driven Postdoctoral Researcher to work full-time on an interdisciplinary research project funded by the Academy of Finland: "Next generation sensory monitoring for improving microsurgical skills and performance" led by Associate Professor Roman Bednarik (https://www.uef.fi/en/web/int). As our new Postdoctoral Researcher in Medical Interactive Technologies, you will be working in the School of Computing at the Faculty of Science and Forestry, Joensuu. The project is in collaboration with Kuopio University Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery and Microsurgery Training Center, https://www.microsurgerycenter.com/. The research will focus on deep understanding of sensorimotor perception and action in image-guided surgeries. A large part of the research evolves around the visual and tactile perception that underlies surgeon’s high-level skills, i.e. eye-hand coordination, action planning, and decision making. Situated in bimanual surgical tasks, our research combines human factors, human-robot interaction, computational modeling, machine learning, and computer vision for intelligent skill monitoring and interaction with robotic assistance in surgical procedures.
