Position Announcement: Physical Therapist for Motion Analysis Laboratory
The Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory, Mayo Foundation, Rochester,
Minnesota has an opening for a full-time physical therapist. This position
will support all aspects of the research and clinical services provided by
the lab, including patient and normal subject testing, project planning and
coordination, instrumentation and protocol development, data collection and
analysis, grant writing, manuscript preparation, teaching and presentation
of results.
The Biomechanics Laboratory is comprised of integrated units made up of
clinicians, research scientists, and allied health staff. Mayo Foundation
is a private, not-for-profit, group practice of medicine providing
comprehensive clinical, research and education programs. Close cooperation
exists between the clinical services of Orthopedics, Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation, and Neurology and the Biomechanics Laboratory.
The laboratory's workload is diverse, including motion/strength analysis,
computer image analysis, materials testing, electromagnetic/kinematic
testing, anatomical specimen preparation/testing, instrumentation design
and machining. The lab co-directors are both Ph.D. mechanical engineers.
The lab staff includes eighteen full-time employees with backgrounds in
physical therapy, kinesiology, mechanical engineering, computer
programming, computer-aided design, instrumentation and machining. The lab
also has approximately twenty post-doctoral and research fellows with
backgrounds in orthopedic surgery, engineering, or physical medicine.
The position requires licensure (or eligibility for licensure) as a
physical therapist in Minnesota. A master's degree in physical therapy or
a related field is preferred. Experience with research, gait analysis, and
two to three years of work with neurologically and musculoskeletally
impaired patients is strongly preferred. The position requires a highly
