Applications are being accepted by the United States Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED), Integrated Capability Enhancement Branch for a post graduate research position with the biomechanics team. The Integrated Capability Enhancement Branch of the HRED conducts research in physical and neural augmentation, neuroscience-driven approaches to training, and understanding interactions between training and augmentation. The biomechanics team focuses on understanding the effects of augmentation systems on Soldier and Soldier-system performance.
Current research areas for this position include:
Our state-of-the-art 2700 square foot biomechanics lab has an integrated force plate treadmill system (AMTI), motion capture system (Motion Analysis), portable EMG systems (Noraxon), IMU based motion capture measurement systems (Noraxon), systems for collecting oxygen consumption data (Cosmed), and musculoskeletal ultrasound and dynamometry. This lab is part of our Soldier Performance and Equipment Advanced Research (SPEAR) Facility, which was designed to study the interaction between physical and cognitive stress and performance. The facility is adjacent to and used in conjunction with our outdoor obstacle and WiFi enabled 3-mile cross country course through natural terrain.
The HRED is ARL’s principal center for research and development directed toward optimizing Soldier performance and man-machine interactions. The HRED examines human performance in the perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor domains in order to increase the body of knowledge of human capabilities and limitations, and to assess the impact of emerging technologies on Soldier performance. In addition to research onsite, the HRED also conducts collaborative research with university faculty and their graduate students, industry, and government partners. The Integrated Capability Enhancement Branch of ARL is located in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Opportunities for post-graduate research positions at the ARL are open to citizens of the United States.
The ideal candidate will have experience working with human subjects including collecting and interpreting data such as metabolic, kinetic and kinematic data, and electromyography. Experience with programming in Matlab, Labview, Visual3D, and/or R for Statistical Computing preferred but not required. We are seeking applicants with a MS or equivalent in biomechanics, kinesiology, physics, physiology, or a related field.
If interested in applying, please send a current CV and cover letter to:
