    technology into the private sector.

    Current ATRC projects include: 1) quantification of 3D human movement, in
    particular gait and balance, 2) applications of virtual reality in
    rehabilitation medicine, 3) biomechanical analyses of orthoses, 4)
    development of a portable evaluation system, 5) development and application
    of new biomechanical sensors, and 6) development of new designs of orthosis
    for different patient populations. In addition, the candidate will also
    have to the opportunity to explore, initiate and develop other research
    projects for the ATRC.

    biomedical, or electrical enigneering. Two or more years of experience in
    applications of rehabilitation technology preferred. The applicant should
    also have research experience and will be expected to assist in producing
