for immediately available, Research Assistant positions in the Military
Performance Laboratory (MPL), at the Center for the Interpid (CFI), Fort
Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas and the Center for Performance and
Clinical Research (CPCR) at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC),
Washington, DC.
The facilities were developed to provide state-of-the-art care for
injured service members, as they work to return to the highest levels of
physical, psychological, and emotional function. The centers provide
injured Service members with the best technology available to precisely
assess and maximize physical performance. Personnel from the centers
provide clinical gait analysis services, conduct research to improve
patient management, and provide education and training in leading-edge
care and rehabilitation of the amputee patient.
Available positions are Full Time in direct support of research
protocols. The associated projects will examine the influence of new
microprocessor controlled prosthetic devices on physical performance in
individuals who have sustained lower extremity amputation. The
incumbents will ensure timely completion of research protocols and
assist with activities related to data collection, processing and
management within the lab. For more information regarding the Center for
