    ‘Lead a Lab with No Boundaries’ and join the No. 1 ranked Rehabilitation Hospital in the U.S., the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) as the Research Chair of the Legs + Walking Lab, a newly created position. Be part of an organization that is changing the paradigm of rehabilitation medicine at the cutting-edge Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, a state-of-the-art prototype for the future, open in March 2017, which will embed researchers and clinicians together – side-by-side – to innovate for the future.

    Reporting to the Chief Scientific Officer, the Research Chair will provide leadership to the scientific teams establishing the road map to realize RIC’s Vision to Advance Human Ability. His/her objectives are to facilitate clinically meaningful research and apply state-of-the-art scientific principles that improve patient function, specifically in the areas of locomotion, gait and walking. Furthermore, this leader will work in a highly collaborative environment which will determine research themes, provide guidance and technical expertise with the Clinical Chairs of all five Innovation Centers. The Research Chair will create synergy among investigators and clinicians in the Legs + Walking Lab that will speed discovery and ensure clinical adoption of discoveries. The Research Chair will collaborate with Northwestern University along with other key academic institutions.

    KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
    1. Develop strong research vision encompassing innovative approach to solving problems for patients with loss of function in the lower body; must also be able to articulate and communicate the vision broadly.
    2. Provide leadership to Legs + Walking Lab, accountable for overall success and effectiveness of entire Lab (as well as for his/her own research pursuits).
    3. Provide scientific guidance and experimental advice related to locomotion, gait and walking in medical conditions resulting in loss of lower-body function.
    4. Oversee research of principal investigators focused on lower-extremity functions such as walking, running, standing, sitting and balance.
    5. Recruit, hire, mentor and develop highly qualified staff with expertise in lower-body function, and who are capable of guiding research consistent with RIC’s Vision.
    6. Provide scientific leadership to RIC investigators in Legs + Walking Lab; mentor young researchers and integrate them into ongoing research being performed by more senior investigators.

    QUALIFICATIONS
    1. Doctoral degree in relevant field, e.g. physiology, biomechanics, motor control, exercise physiology, biomedical engineering, neural engineering or others.
    2. University faculty appointment of Associate Professor or higher.
    3. Minimum of ten years’ experience running and growing a large research lab or research group.
    4. Proven ability to develop and lead a large, complex, multi-dimensional team that are quality- and outcome-oriented and patient-care-service driven.
    5. Proven success competing for federal grants, such as VA, DOD, NIH and NICRR agencies, funding level of approximately $500K/year.
    6. Substantial publications, demonstrating leadership in field, establishing credibility and engendering confidence in junior and senior scientists; publication threshold of approximately 100 research reports.

    The unique design of the hospital is about creativity and inventing – processes, methods, experiences, even products that will affect real change in our patients and in their potential for full recovery.
    We are leveraging the design of our new building to fully express our vision, embracing an iterative rather than linear process of clinical care and recovery medicine, and integrating the intellectual with the artistic.
    A revolution in rehabilitation medicine

    Our new research hospital project will transform the entire structure of our organization and will exert strong influence on the field of rehabilitation to adopt translational methods, integrating science directly with clinical care to achieve never-before-possible outcomes for patients. We have the insight, expertise, and drive to envision a revolution in rehabilitation medicine, and to make it happen. And we hold the fundamental ambition and confidence that RIC will continue to improve lives and serve as a resource for the world, the center of excellence and promise.
