Come to Amsterdam this fall (Oct 8-10) for the International Motor Impairment Conference!

Interested in #Functional #Morphology and imaging? Looking to apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship? We have an opening at the FunMorph/DynX Lab at the University of Antwerp. If you do not have a project idea but are interested, I have some for you (contact me)! www.uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vaca...

I'm looking for postdocs who'd like to apply for the @connectedminds.bsky.social PDFs with me and collaborators to work on the following potential projects: 1. explainable neuroAI for ANN / SNN models of motor control 2. neuromorphic robotic control 3. neurorobotic artistic performance ... /1

Attention Motor Impairment Researchers and Clinicians! Registration and abstract submission for the International Motor Impairment Conference 2025 are now open. Visit our website and find our confirmed speakers, Abstract Submission & Early bird registration: motorimpairment.org

We have just published this pre-print. doi: doi.org/10.1101/2025.... We show that linear and angular momentum are both controlled during bipedal walking. This study resulted from discussions we had on the use of foot placement to stabilise gait. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Just in time for your Christmas reading list: new preprint with Yang Geng and @jvandieen.bsky.social: “ Upright stance is controlled close to critical stability across different postures” (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) feedback welcome!

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join the META MUSEUM project: Emotion and Biomarkers. This interdisciplinary project focuses on understanding emotion-induced bodily and neurophysiological biomarkers through experimental interventions. werkenbij.vu.nl/vacatures/po...

Finishing the year in style with a job alert! 📢 I am seeking for a talented postdoctoral researcher/researcher to join my Neuromechanics group at UNSW. This is a 2-year full-time position focusing on predictive musculoskeletal simulations (1/3) 👇

UoM are recruiting a Research Associate (10.5 months maternity cover, full time) to work on the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) in Manchester. More details about the job and how to apply can be found here www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

#biomechanics job at University of Toronto! jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-...

A great lab and mentors are hiring postdocs to study robotic exoskeletons for stroke rehab!!

We're hiring a postdoc to work on several projects related to balance control and concussion! Please spread the word! tinyurl.com/bdz9tnat

🆕 Open calls for postdoctoral fellowships at Université Côte d'Azur (Nice, France) ☀️ 🌴! If you completed your PhD within the last four years and have a passion for the neural control of movement, I encourage you to apply to join my research team at LAMHESS 👉 urlr.me/5VByYA

I am actively recruiting several PhD students to join my lab at UMass Amherst (you can apply as ME, BME, or CICS) to work on wearable robotics for walking/running and neuromotor control (primitives for action generation and perception)! Shoot me an email if you're interested!

This paper is just out: doi.org/10.7717/peer.... We found that balance training on unstable surfaces in older adults does improve feedback responses to balance perturbations. Effects suggest that this may be mainly due to a decrease in muscle activation reducing an overshoot in the responses.

I have started my sabbatical in Nice to wind down a bit and to learn from Francois Hug on motor unit decomposition. This also gave me the time to finally leave Twitter (as I still prefer to call it) and start on Bluesky. So far this looks promising.

Recruiting Ph.D. Students!! The Penn State Locomotor Control (LoCo) Lab is actively recruiting highly qualified graduate students interested in starting in Fall (Aug) 2025 to study the biodynamics and motor control of human walking.
