    POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN MOTOR CONTROL FOLLOWING STROKE

    Applications are invited for a Post Doctoral Researcher with up to four
    years of funding in the Motor Control Laboratory of the Physical Therapy
    Department and Biomechanics and Movement Science Program, University of
    Delaware, Newark, DE, USA.

    The successful applicant will be expected to have experience and
    research interests in areas relevant to a National Institutes of Health
    supported project entitled "Coordination of reaching in healthy adults
    and stroke ". He or she will be involved in all aspects of the project,
    and will work in close collaboration with the Principal Investigator Dr.
    John Scholz and his collaborators.

    Kinematic, kinetic and EMG measures of movement performance will be used
    to explore the predictions of recent simulations of a three level model
    of motor control and to address related issues of coordination of
    reaching and other upper extremity tasks in healthy adults and
    individuals with a stoke at various stages of functional recovery.

    We are seeking an individual with prior doctoral training in motor
    control, neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience or related areas who
    have experience working with patients with neurological dysfunction.
    Preference will be given, but not limited to individuals who have
    additional training as a physical or occupational therapist. The ability
    to program, mathematical/computational experience (especially in time
    series and signal processing,) and prior experience with motion analysis
    and electromyography would be a highly advantageous.

    This is a full-time fixed-term appointment. The starting salary will be
    $32,000 per year with additional fringe benefits. Starting date is
    February 1, 2005 or as early as possible thereafter.

    Inquiries should be directed to John Scholz at 302-831-6281 or
    jpscholz@udel.edu and applications should be sent to the same email
    address or by regular mail to John P. Scholz, PhD, PT, Department of
    Physical Therapy, University of Delaware, 307 McKinly Laboratory,
    Newark, DE 19716.

    Applications from qualified minority and women candidates are encouraged.
