Doctoral Research Assistants in Robotics, Postdoctoral Research Associate in Robotics, and Postdoctoral Research Associate in Curriculum Design

Positions Available: Two Doctoral Research Assistants in Robotics
Mechanical Engineering Department, NYU Tandon School of Engineering

We are seeking to recruit two doctoral research assistants, with an immediate start date, under an externally funded project. Applicants must have a B.S. and an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field with research experience in robotics. They should have a strong aptitude in mathematics and engineering. The following areas of academic expertise are essential: i) robotics, ii) mechatronics, iii) system dynamics, and iv) automatic control. The research assistants are expected to excel in their academic work. Their dissertation research will focus on natural and intuitive human-robot interaction and/or robots for disability. The project is on-going and requires highly motivated and dedicated individuals who are self-driven to excel in education and research. For further information, please contact Prof. Vikram Kapila, vkapila@nyu.edu. Applicants can send a single pdf file containing a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and statement of research interest to Prof. Kapila.

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position Available: Robotics Engineering

Postdoctoral Research Associate Positions Available: Curriculum Design
Mechanical Engineering Department, NYU Tandon School of Engineering

We are seeking to recruit a postdoctoral research associate, with an immediate start date, under an externally funded project. The project will research, identify, and build an effective model of teacher education and associated curriculum to facilitate the integration of robotics in science and math learning in middle school classrooms. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in science, math, engineering, or technology education (curriculum design). They should have a strong aptitude in their disciplinary specialization as well as interests in learning science. The curriculum designer is expected to conduct scholarly research in STEM education. S/he will have opportunities for broad training including graduate student mentoring. The project is on-going and requires a highly motivated and dedicated individual who is self-driven to excel in education and scholarly research. For further information, please contact Prof. Vikram Kapila, vkapila@nyu.edu. Applicants can send a single pdf file containing a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, statement of research interest, and a list of three references to Prof. Kapila.
