    The Knecht Movement Science Laboratory in the Department of Physical
    Therapy, University of Illinois at Chicago
    http://www.uic.edu/ahp/pt/Aindex.html is looking for a highly motivated
    individual for a post-doctoral research fellow.

    The four areas of focus for our research are: Control of posture in
    health and disease, control of grip force, vocational rehabilitation, and
    the development of new rehabilitation approaches. Currently funded
    investigations include: the role of sensory cues on balance in peripheral
    neuropathy; grip force control in individuals with multiple sclerosis, and
    compelled body weight shift therapy in stroke.

    The Knecht Movement Science Laboratory is equipped with a 6-camera
    motion capture system (VICON), six-component force plates (AMTI, Kistler), a
    16 channel EMG system (MA300), and several specialized test jigs for the
    study of the neuromusculoskeletal system. The laboratory has both
    extramural as well as intramural collaborations.

    The requirements of the position include the completion of a PhD in
    biomechanics, motor control, rehabilitation sciences, physical therapy, or a
    related discipline; proficiency in the design and implementation of human
    movement research including experience with motion capture and EMG systems
    and in computer programming (e.g. MATLAB, LabView, Statistics packages,
    etc.); and excellent communication skills.

    The post-doctoral position is for one year and renewable to two years.
    The position is supported by the National Institute on Disability and
    Rehabilitation Research, available from June 1, 2009, and remains open until
    the appropriate candidate is chosen.



    Interested candidates should send cover letter, curriculum vita, and the
    contact information for three references to:
