Applicant must have demonstrated coursework and or interdisciplinary research experience that expands beyond primary program (e.g. Biomechanics doctoral program but coursework/research experience in exercise physiology etc). Additionally, applicants must demonstrate strong statistical analysis skills and abilities through coursework and research participation. Evidence of experience communicating results through peer-reviewed publications is a plus.
· Participate in applied research focused on Soldier physical performance, load carriage, utilizing force plates, treadmills, electromyography, motion capture equipment, metabolic carts.
· Participate in research concerning biomechanics (gait initiation, loading asymmetry, leg stiffness, stability, body posture, variability, etc) and physical performance as related to mobility, agility, obstacle negotiation.
· Participate in research to extend energy expenditure modeling equations.
· Statistically analyze, interpret, and report research findings in coordination with a mentor/ principal investigator.
· Contribute on research reports and professional presentations as well as publishing results in peer-reviewed journals.
· Participate in enthusiastic and mission-driven team environment.
· Provide general scientific support to larger programmatic efforts.
· Tune and refine research skills while addressing important biomechanics centric problems for the Army.
· Engage in research leadership while receiving general supervision in order to successfully participate on important Army research.
· Familiarity and experience with motion capture camera systems, force plates, surface electromyography, and related software such as MATLAB, Visual3D, SPSS is preferred.
· Experience in directing and managing human subjects research is essential.
· Demonstrated ability to lead author publications is required.
