The Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, School of Public Health and Health Professions, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, is seeking candidates to fill a 10-month state supported and tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level focusing on biomechanics.
Position Description: The successful candidate will provide leadership for the development of an integrated Biomechanics concentration and expand the research portfolio of the biomechanics of human movement laboratory. The appointed candidate should establish collaborations with other Departments in the School and other Schools within and outside the University. The position has a 10-month state salary with competitive startup funds. Candidates are expected to obtain or have extramural funding to support the research in the laboratory, as well as the summer portion of the position.

The candidates’ academic goals should embrace the school’s mission to improve the health of populations, communities, and individuals through disciplinary and interdisciplinary education, research, and service. Candidates conducting human subjects research who can form strong collaborations with other Departments in the School of Public Health and Health Professions and the Schools of Medicine and Engineering are preferred. Primary research areas of interest include, but are not limited to, gait, balance, ergonomics, orthopedics, patient evaluation and rehabilitation, aging, obesity, prosthetics or orthotics.
Duties
1. Develop and maintain an independent scholarly research program that will attract external funding and enhance student recruitment.
2. Teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses consistent with the department needs.
3. Advise and mentor students at the master’s and doctoral levels.
