Two Tenure Track Positions Available
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
DIVISION OF BIOMECHANICS AND RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN HUMAN MOVEMENT VARIABILITY
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) invites applications for two tenure track positions as assistant/associate professor. These positions became available due to our recent Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) Phase II award. The objective in Phase II is to strengthen and enhance the capabilities of our Center for Research in Human Movement Variability. This Center is located within the Division of Biomechanics and Research Development at the Biomechanics Research Building at UNO. UNO is a Carnegie Doctoral Research public university. Enrollment is 15,431 undergraduate and graduate students. Anticipated starting date is January 1, 2020. The University of Nebraska at Omaha has a strong commitment to achieving diversity among faculty and staff. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from members of under-represented groups and strongly encourage women and persons of color to apply for this position.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Enhance our critical mass of scientists working in human movement variability within our Center. Conduct biomedical research and participate in scholarly activity with a defined focus on human movement variability as it relates to health-related issues such as falls in the elderly, movement disorders, sensorimotor disabilities, etc. Supervise graduate students, technicians, and research associates. Obtain external funding. Develop effective collaboration with clinical partners. Teach courses in area of preparation. Complement the research of existing Center members. Provide departmental, university and professional service.
Qualifications:
Doctoral degree in motor control, biomechanics, biomedical engineering, or related area. Post-doctoral experience is preferred. Established record of scholarly activity with a strong commitment to biomedical research with respect to human movement variability.
Rank and Salary:
Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. An excellent start-up package is included as part of our COBRE.
General Information:
The Center for Research in Human Movement Variability belongs academically to the Division of Biomechanics and Research Development. Within the Division, the Department of Biomechanics offers undergraduate degree in Biomechanics and a Master’s degree Biomechanics. A PhD in Exercise Science is available with concentrations in Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Motor Development/Control and Physical Activity.
Setting:
The Biomechanics Research Building (BRB) was established for the purpose of developing a new understanding of the dynamical aspects of human movement. This is an excellent environment where engineers, scientists and clinicians get together to gain additional insights on healthy and abnormal movement patterns. The BRB is located on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The building has 53,000 square feet of laboratory, office and collaboration space. The building features fifteen laboratories, patient evaluation rooms, changing rooms, machine shop, washroom, multiple conference rooms, data processing room, a library, numerous faculty offices and student workstations. BRB has strong ties with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the Omaha Veteran Affairs Medical Center, the Creighton University Medical Center, and the University of Nebraska Lincoln College of Engineering. These strong relationships and the close proximity of these facilities provide the laboratory with immediate access to patients with neuromuscular disorders, clinicians in various domains, and engineers. Omaha is a dynamic metropolitan area of 700,000 people and has been rated as one of the best environments for living in the nation. Forbes Magazine recently named Omaha as one of the top 15 regions in the nation – after analyzing both economic and quality of life factors. Omaha is also one of the top "eco-cities" in the nation based on air and water quality, open space and population stability according to "E" The Environmental Magazine. The city landscape is a blend of restored office buildings, boutiques, historic preservation sites, shopping malls, parks, and running/bike paths. The Old Market area is a popular destination for residents of Omaha and tourists. This neighborhood features shopping, art galleries, live entertainment and eclectic restaurants that are situated along the river.
