We are seeking two post-doctoral fellows to work on a 4-
year NIH funded project. The overarching goal of the project is to
improve the quality of understanding and assessment of neuromuscular
performance that can be obtained through the use of electromyographic
activity patterns and Hill-type muscle models. The project will
involve assessment of in vivo muscle function using EMG,
sonomicrometry and tendon buckles in the goat, or other suitable
species. Contractile and architectural measures will be made in situ,
and fiber-type histochemistry will be determined. These parameters
will be used to develop a series of alternative muscle models and
validate their performance on the in vivo data.
Experimental measurements will be concentrated at the
Concord Field Station, Harvard, and modeling studies will be
concentrated at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. We are seeking one
post-doctoral fellow to be based at each site; interchange between the
two sites will be encouraged. Salary would be commensurate with
experience based on current NRSA levels (USA), or CIHR levels (Canada).
Applicants will be considered who have expertise and
interest in measuring or modeling muscle contractile properties and
architecture in relation to varying locomotor tasks. For further
information, and to register an interest in these opportunities then
please contact either:
