  • Laboratory Manager/Technician position at Cornell University

    Position: LABORATORY MANAGER/TECHNICIAN IN BIOENGINEERING
    Location: NEUROMUSCULAR BIOMECHANICS LABORATORY AT CORNELL
    UNIVERSITY, ITHACA, NY
    PI: Francisco Valero-Cuevas
    US CITIZENSHIP/PERMANENT RESIDENCY REQUIRED

    Our Laboratory seeks applicants for the post of a laboratory
    manager/technician. The research focus of our lab is the human hand
    and upper extremity, with an emphasis on understanding the
    biomechanics and sensorimotor function underlying manipulation.
    Computer administration and experimental support responsibilities
    include design and fabrication of electromechanical experiments,
    programming of data acquisition software, recruiting subjects,
    executing experiments, data analysis, testing of cadaveric specimens,
    assisting in data collection, and technical writing.

    A background in bioengineering, mechanical, or electrical engineering
    with emphasis in experimental studies is necessary. The equipment in
    the laboratory includes 6-DOF robotic arms, VICON motion capture
    systems, specialized load frames, EMG amplifiers and Phantom haptic
    devices. Our work entails extensive MATLAB programming and use of
    common computer hardware/OS/software. Familiarity with C, machine
    shop fabrication, and electronic circuits is also strongly desired.

    The position involves close interaction with faculty, engineering
    students, post-doctoral fellows and clinicians. A bachelor's degree
    in engineering or a science related field is required; a Master's
    degree is preferred; PhD graduates will also be considered.
    Applicants with research experience will be given strong preference.
    This term position is available May 2006 and is funded for 2 years
    with possibility of renewal.

    Environment:

    Our laboratory consists of an interdisciplinary group of graduate and
    undergraduate students, post-doctoral fellows, clinicians, and
    faculty in engineering, computer science, mathematics and
    bioengineering.
