Postdoctoral Fellowships in active soft materials and chemical robotics
Postdoc position open in the Harvard Microrobotics Lab pertaining to active soft materials and chemical robotics. There is a new interest in compliant robots that move in novel ways and are capable of drastic changes in body morphology. For example, imagine a robot that can locomote on a flat surface, then reduce its diameter by a factor of ten to enter and maneuver in a narrow passage or hole. We intend to explore new materials ('active soft materials') that are either discretely or continuously compliant and are actuated by novel electromechanical and chemical means. We will also integrate the most promising materials into a new class of mobile robots: 'chemical robots'.Applicants should have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or a related field. The position is open immediately (1/1/08) and is guaranteed for a year with a possible second year extension. Interested applicants should send a CV and list of references to Prof. Wood.
