Post-doctoral/research associate position at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago/Northwestern University
A post-doctoral research associate position is now available at the Sensory Motor Performance Program (SMPP) at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC). The candidate will work on project to improve balance and locomotor function in humans with spinal cord injury through robot-assisted treadmill training. The candidate will participate in different projects using a custom designed cable-driven robotic gait training system. Opportunities also exist to interact in collaborative research with other engineering and neuroscience faculty at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and Northwestern University.
Candidates should have a PhD degree in Biomedical/Mechanical Engineering, Physical Therapy, Kinesiology, or a related field. Some experiences working with human subject is a plus. Applicants should forward their CV, the names and contact information of three references in a single PDF to Dr. Ming Wu via E_mail (w-ming@northwestern.edu). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

The Sensory Motor Performance Program at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago is devoted to the study of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and sensory disorders that are associated with abnormal control of posture and movement. Faculty members have appointments in the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and in the Northwestern University Engineering School. Approximately one hundred research stuff-including faculty, post-doctoral research associates, graduate students, and support staff—make up a unique team of physicians, engineers, mathematicians, physiologists, and occupational & physical therapists for the study of motor and sensory dysfunctions.
