The Human Neuromechanics Laboratory at the University of Florida has two full-time staff openings. The lab is relocating from the University of Michigan to the University of Florida in June 2017. The Director of the laboratory is Daniel Ferris, Ph.D. (https://www.bme.ufl.edu/people/ferris_daniel). The research focus of the laboratory is on human locomotion, both in health and disability, with particular emphases on robotic exoskeletons, bionic prostheses, and mobile brain imaging.
Research Engineer: We are looking for a well-organized, dependable individual to conduct biomechanics and neurophysiology research on human subjects. She/he will be responsible for maintaining all laboratory equipment (motion analysis, force treadmill, force plates, EMG, EEG, robotic hardware, metabolics, etc.), setting up and troubleshooting equipment, writing computer programs, collecting & analyzing experimental data, supervising undergraduate researchers, coordinating laboratory calendar, and training new lab members on equipment use and laboratory procedures. Additional duties will include conducting general library research; writing and maintaining laboratory IRB protocols, and minor clerical work. Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Kinesiology, or Neuroscience required. Master's degree preferred. Experience with computer programming (Matlab, Simulink), electronics troubleshooting, motion analysis, EEG, EMG, Visual 3D, and/or robotic hardware and control is desirable.
Start Date: June 1 - August 15, 2017
Salary Range: $40,000 - $50,000 USD, plus benefits
Please send a resume, letter of interest, and contact information for three individuals that can serve as references to: Dan Ferris, dferris@bme.ufl.edu. Applications will be reviewed immediately and the search is open until filled.
Postdoctoral Researcher: The postdoctoral researcher will focus on development and testing of mobile brain imaging technologies using high-density electroencephalography. Experiments will examine human locomotion to understand supraspinal control of walking and running. Doctoral degree in Engineering, Kinesiology, Psychology, Computer Science, or Neuroscience required. Experience with computer programming (Matlab), EEG, and/or EMG is desirable.
Start Date: June 1 2017 - January 1, 2018
Salary Range: $45,000 - $55,000 USD, plus benefits
Please send a curriculum vitae, letter of interest, and contact information for three individuals that can serve as references to: Dan Ferris, dferris@bme.ufl.edu. Applications will be reviewed immediately and the search is open until filled.
