Position description / Responsibilities
A research position is available at the Department of Human Movement Science / Biomechanics in the Faculty of Sport Science at Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB), Germany. The position is for 1 year with an approximate start date in October 2017. The research position is associated with a pilot project entitled “The muscle protein titin and eccentric contractions”. If further funding is secured after the first and successful pilot year, there might be the opportunity for a PhD position in this area.
The pilot project will investigate human muscle and neurophysiology responses to training and will involve in vivo biomechanical testing and in vitro muscle testing. The primary aim of the pilot project is to obtain and analyse exemplar in vivo and in vitro muscle data. There is hence a great opportunity for promising young scientists to learn several new experimental techniques within the project. Payment will be approx. 15.000 € / year after tax.
Required Qualifications
Applicants must have a Master of Science or Bachelor of Honours degree in sport science, kinesiology, biology/physiology, neurophysiology, or a related field.
Desired Qualifications
Candidates with experience in human experimental work including dynamometer testing, electromyography, ultrasonography, neuromuscular stimulation and/or preparation and testing of muscle fibres are encouraged to apply. Strong technical skills in data processing and analysis using software packages like Spike2 or MATLAB is highly desirable.
RUB seeks to increase the number of women in areas in which they are underrepresented. Therefore, we particularly encourage qualified women to apply. RUB further aims to hire more people with disability and also encourages them to apply for research positions.
Interested?
Please submit your CV and the names and contact information of two referees, as well as a short research statement in a single (!) PDF file to daniel.hahn@rub.de. Application deadline: August 15, 2017.
