Lab:NeuroErgonomics Lab (Director: Ranjana Mehta, PhD)
The NeuroErgonomics Lab in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University is seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow with a strong background in quantitative Human Factors and Ergonomics research. Research in the NeuroErgonomics Lab utilizes theories, methods, and techniques from physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, engineering, and psychology to better understand, monitor, and augment operator health and safety in high-risk environments. The fellow will lead a portfolio of connected studies from the current project list:
- Basic research: Neuromuscular fatigue mechanisms with aging and obesity
- Applied research: Wearable/remote monitoring for worker health and safety, closed-loop brain-controlled interfaces (BCIs), and understanding/augmenting human-robotic interactions in safety-critical domains
Qualifications:
Interested candidates should have obtained a Ph.D. degree by the start date.
- Our research is multi-disciplinary and inclusive, applicants may have engineering, kinesiology, or neuroscience backgrounds.
- The ideal candidate will have proven talent to work independently with excellent interpersonal, communication, and mentoring skills
