Doctoral / Postdoctoral Research Position
at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for Fall 2009
The Hand Neuromechanics Lab in the Department of Industrial Engineering at
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is seeking motivated graduate
students/postdoctoral fellows to pursue research in the field of
biomechanics and neurorehabilitation.
Ideal applicants should have a degree in mechanical/industrial/biomedical
engineering, kinesiology, neuroscience, or a related discipline. Research
experience with motion analysis, force transducers, EMG, musculoskeletal
modeling, statistical analysis software, and programming (MATLAB, LabView)
is desirable. Experience with human subjects is a plus.
The lab’s specific research interests include:
1. Understand neurophysiologic and biomechanical mechanisms for poor hand
function following aging or neurologic disorders such as stroke.
2. Employ ergonomic design and develop rehabilitative interventions and
assistive devices to improve the quality of life for persons with
sensorimotor impairment.
We will be working collaboratively with investigators in diverse backgrounds
including engineers, kinesiologists, neuroscientists, therapists, and
physicians.
Interested individuals should immediately email a curriculum vita and a
letter detailing the applicant's research interest to:
Na Jin Seo, PhD
Assistant Professor

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) is Wisconsin's premier urban
research university, located in the cultural and economic heart of the
state. UWM is one of two doctoral degree-granting institutions in the
University of Wisconsin System. With a student body of more than 29,000,
UWM is Wisconsin's second largest university and increasingly the first
choice university for individuals seeking access to success.
With extramural funding increasing more than 25 percent over the last five
years and new campus initiatives spurring further growth, the profile of UWM
research is rising. UWM researchers are overcoming global challenges as
well as solving local problems, and talented graduate students form the
foundation of the campus research enterprise.
The recent magazine describes vibrant activities in the College of
Engineering and Applied Science:

The UW-Milwaukee campus is just blocks from beautiful Lake Michigan, and
less than four miles from downtown Milwaukee. It is considered one of the
safest campuses in Wisconsin. Several Milwaukee County Transit System bus
routes provide the campus with easy access to public transportation in
Milwaukee. UWM lies at the center of a lively mix of diverse neighborhoods,
sports, recreation, performing arts, shops, restaurants, and nightspots.
