JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Summary: The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison seeks to fill a new faculty position with research focused on sensing and assistance agents to promote independence and healthy aging. Applications at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be considered. This position is part of the RISE-THRIVE initiative. The department is interested in candidates whose research explores the use of robotics and sensing to address the challenges of health, well-being, independence, and quality of life in aging. Research addressing the needs of aging individuals, families and communities may focus on new technologies to support awareness, decision making, home safety, health monitoring, physical function, community participation, and related challenges. These technologies are expected to interact with the physical world through sensing and/or actuation, under decision support and task assignment controlled by advanced information systems including artificial intelligence. The ideal candidate will emphasize both technology development and use cases. This position is complemented by another RISE-THRIVE faculty position in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering focusing on the design or sociotechnical evaluation of human-centered assistive technologies, environments or devices, by two other RISE-THRIVE faculty in the College of Engineering, and by other new hires across WU-Madison under a campus-wide initiative (posted on jobs.wisc.edu). The individual hired in this position will complement strong research in Biomechanics, Sensing, and Robotics within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, research in Health Systems Engineering in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and other aging and health research throughout the UW-Madison campus. The department welcomes candidates who transcend the traditional boundaries of Mechanical Engineering and can incorporate insights from Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Ergonomics, or related disciplines to holistically address high impact societal problems related to the areas described above....
