    • An earned PhD in the last 3 years in the field of Kinesiology (Biomechanics, Neuromuscular Physiology), Human Movement Science, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related disciplines from an accredited university;
    • Knowledge and application of musculoskeletal biomechanics and human movement, as demonstrated by contributions, such as (but not limited to) peer reviewed publications, conference proceedings, technology transfer and other knowledge transfer activities;
    • An interest in pursuing academic research in partnership with industry as needed
    • Eligibility to work in Canada is required. Canadian citizens and permanent residents are preferred, but foreign applications are more than welcome.
    • Ability to demonstrate (through a cover letter and CV) expertise requirements as defined below; and
    • Available to begin work as soon as Jan 1st, 2018. This opportunity will stay open until the position is filled.


    PDF Position
