PHYSICAL MEDICINE & REHABILITATION DEPARTMENT, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY;
SENSORY MOTOR PERFORMANCE PROGRAM, REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO
A post-doctoral position is available in the Neural Engineering Laboratory at the Sensory Motor Performance Program, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
The successful candidate will participate in research experiments that that aim to minimize the motor impairment after neurological injury, such as stroke or spinal cord injury, using advanced techniques. In particular, the successful candidate will participate in performing experimental protocol and analyzing data for the purpose of quantifying the contributing factors to motor impairment, with the goal of optimizing treatment.
The Neural Engineering lab is equipped with several novel devices, which enable us to easily study many different joints in human subjects. Using this lab, we can quantify neuromuscular properties, kinematic and kinetic measures of performance, assess clinical measures of motor impairments and functional limitation, and investigate the effects of the interventions on multiple joints.
Opportunities exist to interact in collaborative research with engineering and neuroscience faculty who specialize in neuro-rehabilitation, robotics in rehabilitation, neuromuscular systems, motor control, learning, modeling, and systems engineering.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree in human movement science, neuroscience, biomedical/mechanical/electrical engineering, physical therapy, kinesiology or a related discipline. Experience with the assessment of human movement, performance, function, or rehabilitation, biomechanical measurements, or motion analysis particularly in populations with spinal cord injury or stroke is highly desirable.
The appointment can start immediately and will be available for at least two years. Salary is negotiable, and commensurate with experience.
To apply, e-mail a cover letter with a statement of interests, a resume/curriculum vita, and the names of three individuals who can be contacted as references to:
Mehdi Mirbagheri, PhD

SENSORY MOTOR PERFORMANCE PROGRAM
The Sensory Motor Performance Program (SMPP) at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) is devoted to the study of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and sensory disorders that are associated with abnormal control of posture and movement. Faculty members have appointments in the Northwestern University Medical School and the Northwestern University Engineering School. Over hundred thirty research staff - including post-doctoral research associates, graduate students, and support staff -- make up a unique team of physicians, engineers, mathematicians, physiologists, and occupational & physical therapists for the study of motor and sensory dysfunctions. For additional information see: http://www.smpp.northwestern.edu
___RIC is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Woman and minority applicants are encouraged to apply. Hiring is contingent on eligibility to work in the United States.
