Robotic surgical technologies have to matured to offer increased dexterity to clinical users. We aim to explore how robot sensing and cognition can further support surgical outcomes through offering increasing levels of autonomy to surgical robots and appropriate sensory feedback to the operator for clinical decision support. \nThis recruitment is part of the research endeavour of the newly established Department of Surgical & Interventional Engineering within the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences. This new Department focuses on creating novel surgical instrumentation, imaging modalities, and computer-assisted/AI frameworks, and translating them to clinical practice. \n \nIn this role, the post holder will be responsible for the design and development of physical and algorithmic interfaces that perceptually connect the surgical robot and the human operator. Examples may include scene interpretation for the generation of active constraints / virtual fixtures, hand off of surgical tasks to the robot, haptic perception through visual and physical means, and improved UIUX. The post is an intrinsic component of our Trustworthy AI for Sensory-rich Surgical Robotics research pillar. \n \nCandidates should have demonstrable experience in human/robot interaction and/or robot autonomy. Experience in surgical and/or medical robotics is desirable. The successful candidate is expected to disseminate their research through presenting at scientific conferences, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and providing open-source software tools and hardware schematics. Candidates are expected to have a good track record of scientific publications in AI, medical robotics, and/or medical image analysis and computer-assisted intervention-related journals or equivalent conference publications. Candidates should have strong written and oral presentation skills. \nThe successful candidate will be based in the Department of Surgical and Interventional Engineering reporting to Dr Christos Bergeles, Reader specialising in Surgical Robotics and working closely with the teams of Prof. Kawal Rhode, and Dr. Hongbin Liu. \n \nThis post will be offered on an a fixed-term contract for 2 years (latest end date 27 April 2024) \nThis is a full-time post - 100% full time equivalent</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Key responsibilities</strong></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Design and develop human/robot collaboration frameworks that take into the multimodality of sensing afforded in surgical robotic systems. </li>\n<li>Collaborate with surgical robotics teams within the Department to assess interoperability of developments in a variety of robotic systems. </li>\n<li>Support the development of surgical data science algorithms and the interoperability of devices in the operating room. </li>\n<li>Evaluate and validate proposed methodology to accelerate its clinical translation. </li>\n<li>Present key findings at scientific conferences. </li>\n<li>Prepare high-quality manuscripts for publication. </li>\n<li>Liaise with key biomedical engineering and surgical collaborators at King’s College London. </li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"> \nThe above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Skills, knowledge, and experience </strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">\n<strong>Essential criteria </strong>\n \n1.
