NEW: Postdoc positions available Apply Here
Case Western Reserve University, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is seeking to fill two postdoctoral scholar positions in the Neurorobotics Cluster, specifically working on biologically-inspired robotics mentored by Associate Professor Kathryn Daltorio. Our group is broadly interested in learning from animals on how to make robots better navigate challenging terrain. Our goal is to create pipelines for biologically-inspired robots to fill unmet societal needs. Currently we have several ongoing projects: soft robots in confined spaces to support infrastructure expansion, dynamic modeling of decision-making with saddle equilibria and crab-like robots for dexterous manipulation underwater. Anticipated start date January 2027, with two year mentoring plan to be developed with postdoc.
