Primary Duties(90%):
1) perform collection, processing, and interpretation of data;
2) maintain and troubleshoot all CPCR instrumentation including but not
limited to Vicon motion capture system, AMTI forceplates and instrumented
treadmill, Cosmed metabolic system, CAREN system, and associated
hardware/software;
3) assist with publication of research findings in conference proceedings
and peer reviewed journals;
Secondary Duties(10%):
4) provide technical assistance to CPCR staff;
5) provide lectures and education of CPCR technologies and practices to

accredited institution and knowledge of musculoskeletal biomechanics is
required. Experience using Vicon Motion Systems optical motion capture
technology including Workstation/Nexus, Bodybuilder, and Polygon, and
familiarity with metabolic analysis, force platforms, electromyography is
highly desirable.
PERSONAL CONTACTS: Contacts are with coworkers within the CPCR; patients;
subjects undergoing assessment in the Laboratory; clinical staff within
WRAMC and researchers both within and outside of the DoD are directed toward
