A post-doctoral research associate position is now availableat the Sensory Motor Performance Program (SMPP) at Rehabilitation Institute ofChicago (RIC). The candidate willwork on project to improve balance and locomotorfunction in humans with spinal cord injury through robot-assistedtreadmill training. The candidate will participatein different projects using a custom designed cable-driven robotic gaittraining system. Opportunities alsoexist to interact in collaborative research with other engineering and neurosciencefaculty at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and NorthwesternUniversity.
Candidates should have a PhD degree in Biomedical/Mechanical Engineering, PhysicalTherapy, Kinesiology, or a related field. A background in balance and locomotion studyis desirable and some experience working with human subject is a plus. Applicants should forward their CV, the namesand contact information of three references in a single PDF to Dr. Ming Wu viaE_mail (w-ming@northwestern.edu).Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
