Applications are being accepted by The United States Army Research Laboratory, Human Research and Engineering Directorate, Dismounted Warrior Branch for a 1 - 2 year post doctoral position.
Current research areas include:
1. Interaction of physical and cognitive performance for dismounted Soldiers.
2. The effects of blast and ballistic protection on Soldier performance.
Our new lab has an integrated force plate treadmill system, 12 camera Motion Analysis motion capture system, 2x16 channel portable EMG systems, and 2 Cosmed K4b2 systems for collecting oxygen consumption data. The facility is adjacent to and used in conjunction with our outdoor obstacle and WiFi enabled 2.5 mile cross country course through natural terrain.
The ideal candidate will have experience collecting and interpreting metabolic cost data, collecting and analyzing kinetic and kinematic data (should be familiar with Visual3D, specifically the ability to build models and write pipleline code), and writing custom MatLab and/or LabVIEW code for data analysis. Additional experience in time series analysis is an
advantage. We are seeking applicants with a Ph.D. or equivalent in biomechanics, kinesiology, physics, physiology or a related field.
For more information refer to:
The Army Research Laboratory, Dismounted Warrior Branch is located in Aberdeen, Maryland.
