Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
Fellow in Human-Machine Interface Clinical Research Bionics Lab
Harvard University
School: Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Department/Area: Bioengineering.
The Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) Bionics Lab is seeking a highly motivated
Fellow
with a background in
Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Neural Engineering
to join our interdisciplinary research team. This position supports an exciting
clinical trial exploring muscle-controlled robotic systems , pushing the boundaries of human-machine interfacing and neuroprosthetics. You will work at the intersection of
neuroscience, engineering, and clinical science , gaining hands‑on experience with
human subject research ,
robotics , and
electrophysiological data analysis , while contributing to impactful translational research.
Key Responsibilities
Support the design and execution of a
clinical trial
focused on muscle-driven robotic technologies.
Assist in
IRB protocol development
and ongoing human subject documentation.
Conduct
electromyographic (EMG) recordings
and
signal processing
to analyze motor control and performance.
Interface with patients, clinicians, engineers, and neuroscientists as part of a collaborative team.
Perform
data collection, processing, and statistical analysis
in Python or MATLAB.
Document findings, prepare reports, and contribute to manuscript preparation.
Ensure research activities comply with
regulatory standards and ethical guidelines .
Why Join Us? This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to
cutting‑edge research in neuroengineering , while working alongside
roboticists, neuroscientists, and clinicians . You'll gain valuable experience in clinical trial execution, device testing, and data science—skills that are highly relevant for future careers in
graduate school, medical school, or industry R&D . The project is
fast‑paced
and
impact‑driven , providing significant room for
growth, learning, and publication .
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree (BS) in
Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Neural Engineering , or a closely related field.
2+ years of research experience , ideally involving human subjects or clinical research.
Proficiency in
electromyography (EMG) analysis
and
basic signal processing techniques .
Strong programming skills in
MATLAB or Python .
Familiarity with
IRB protocols ,
informed consent procedures , and
human subject protections .
Excellent organizational skills and the ability to work
independently
in a fast‑paced research environment.
Strong interpersonal and written communication skills.
Additional Qualifications
Prior experience in
clinical trial operations
or assisting in clinical studies.
Familiarity with
prosthetics ,
robotic systems , or
neuromodulation technologies .
Exposure to interdisciplinary collaboration in research settings.
Special Instructions Please include a
slide deck
that captures your most salient research experience as part of your application.
