    The Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences (DPTHMS),
    Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine invites applicants
    for a new full-time, 12-month appointment on the non-tenure clinical
    scholar track in the area of rehabilitation robotics and physical

    robotics in both basic science and clinical applications. Applicants
    should demonstrate a successful record of research, reflected in
    extramural grant acquisition and collaboration and publication in high
    quality peer-reviewed journals. Experience in research with human
    subjects with brain injury is required in addition to significant
    exposure to the field of rehabilitation robotics in the context of
    conceptualization, development, testing, and implementation. It is
    anticipated that this faculty member will contribute to the department
    and the professional education program through research, teaching,
    supervision of faculty sponsored research, student advising and
    department committee responsibilities. Collaborations with faculty in
