A post doctoral research position is available at the VA RR&D Center of Excellence for Limb Loss Prevention and Prosthetic Engineering, and the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA.
The position will be focused on projects within the general areas of Prosthetic Engineering, and Neural Injury and Rehabilitation. Current projects are exploring myoelectric control of powered prostheses, optimal motor learning strategies specific to utilization of powered prostheses, determination of injury threshold spectrum in traumatic brain injury models, and development of therapeutic interventions for traumatic brain injury. The successful candidate will work within a multi-disciplinary team comprised of leading academic researchers, engineers, prosthetists, and surgical and rehabilitation experts.
Qualifications:
The successful candidate will have a PhD in a discipline related to Prosthetic Engineering or Human Locomotion (e.g. BioEngineering, Integrated Physiology, Kinesiology, Mechanical Engineering, etc.), with an excellent academic and publication record. The candidate must be able to work independently and be self motivated. Excellent written and oral communication skills are a requirement. Experience in supervisory roles and project management are preferred.
The position, starting October 1, 2011 (or until filled) is for 1 year, with an option to renew. Salary will reflect experience and qualifications. Please submit the following application materials to Michael Hahn, PhD via email (mehahn@uw.edu): (1) complete CV, (2) list of 3 references (with contact information), and (3) cover letter explaining how your background and research interests would fit with the current projects described above.
