PROFESSOR
GRADE: Professorial Scale
SALARY: circa £46,000 per annum or according to experience
The successful candidate will work with the existing senior staff to
lead the continuing strategic development of the Centre for
Rehabilitation and Human Performance Research (CRHPR) as a
key national and international player in its field.
The Centre boasts over £2 million external research funding from
EPSRC, EU, Dept of Health and other agencies since 2001 and
£900K of infrastructure investment from the University. There is a
strong community of scholars, including the Professors, four
permanent Senior Research Fellows, 20 academic staff, nine
contract research staff, over 25 post graduate research students

continues to be very strong.
The current research within the Centre is diverse and the Chair will

growth. Key areas include lower and upper limb biomechanics,
human movement modelling, assistive device design, gait, balance
and posture, laboratory and clinical measurement science, sports
performance and injury, and evaluation of therapy interventions from
clinical and patient focused perspectives. Clinical areas of current
interest include (but are not restricted to) stroke, diabetes and
musculoskeletal disease. Applications are welcome from
individuals from all relevant backgrounds.
Working across traditional academic and health care boundaries is
central to the success of CRHPR and there are active links with
the following groups within the University: engineering, biomedical
sciences, robotics, virtual reality, informatics and the 6* built
environment group.
