    DUTIES:
    Develop and lead research projects in impact biomechanics, crash/injury
    research, and vehicle ergonomics that use both experimental and
    analytic tools to study human tolerance and response to impact loading
    and the physical interaction of occupants with the vehicle interior
    during normal operation conditions. Contribute to the intellectual
    advancement of the Biosciences Division through these research efforts,
    and through collaborations with other researchers in Biosciences and
    other institutions. Develop personal competencies and research ideas
    which are likely to attract sponsorship; contribute to the preparation
    of proposals and/or lead individual proposals; serve as principal
    investigator and co-principal investigator on impact biomechanics
    research projects; and participate directly in designing, setting up,
    and conducting research experiments and methods, and developing and
    using computer models in support of experimental research, as well as
    to address research objectives directly. Analyze results from
    experimental testing and computer simulations, and interpret and report
    research methods and findings; manage research assistants, technicians,
    and graduate students; work with the Division administrative staff to
    track cost and time expenditures on projects and develop cost of
    proposed research projects; produce research reports and associated
    deliverables which satisfy contract requirements and maximize the yield
    in new knowledge; prepare/present papers and journal articles;
    teach/supervise graduate students, interact with teaching faculty as
    appropriate; participate in educational or scholarly activities;
    participate in professional organizations through membership/committee

    NOTE: This position is posted as a Research Investigator/Assistant
    Research Scientist. The rank of the selected candidate will depend on
    qualifications.


    DEPARTMENT QUALIFICATIONS:
    Ph.D. in engineering or the physical sciences. One to three years
    experience conducting biomechanics research using experimental,
    analytical, and statistical tools to study human kinematics and
    kinetics. Experience in impact/injury biomechanics is a plus.
    Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate technical concepts both
    verbally and in writing.

    Please submit applications for this position to: University of Michigan
    Transportation Research Institute, Lawrence W. Schneider, 421 UMTRI,
    2901 Baxter Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2150.
