POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN QUANTITATIVE HUMAN MOTION ANALYSIS, PATTERN RECOGNITION AND JOINT FUNCTION ASSESMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES
HUMAN MOBILITY RESEARCH CENTRE / DEPARTMENT OF MATERIALS AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY
A post-doctoral position has recently become available with the Human Mobility Research Centre (HMRC), Queen’s University, Kingston.
The applicant will be funded as a postdoctoral fellow in the NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program hosted by the HMRC. HMRC-CREATE is a research training program that was established with the goal of providing graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with a unique opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, enhance translational research skills and facilitate the transition to the workforce.
The successful candidate will conduct research investigating the role of mechanical factors (i.e. joint alignment, bone morphology, motion, and loading) in the pathogenesis and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.
Research will be conducted in the Human Mobility Research Lab (HMRL). The facility spans 3000 sq ft and is equipped with a 12 camera - 3D optoelectronic motion tracking system, 2-16 channel wireless EMG systems, 6 AMTI force platforms on moveable magnetic mounts, an engineered staircase and a zero to full body support harness system. The secondary capture volume hosts a second 6 camera motion analysis system, an instrumented treadmill for inclined and decline locomotion and is the site for a fluoroscopy unit to measure 3D intra-articular motion.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree in human movement science, biomedical/mechanical engineering, physical therapy, kinesiology or a related discipline. Experience in traditional biomechanics and motor control research techniques such as motion capture, force measurement, inverse dynamics, and electromyography data—particularly in populations with osteoarthritis –is highly desirable.
The appointment can start immediately. To apply, e-mail a cover letter with a statement of research interests, resume/curriculum vitae, and the names of three individuals who can be contacted as references to:
Kevin J. Deluzio, PhD
c/o Amy Morton, MSc
Laboratory Manager / Research Assistant
