Postdoctoral Fellowship for NIDILRR Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) in Mobility for Physicians, Therapists, and Engineers
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of Rehabilitation Sciences & Technology in collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Marquette University is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow. Individuals with backgrounds in engineering, physical therapy, or occupational therapy are encouraged to apply.
This program takes advantage of ongoing collaborations among Marquette University, the Medical College of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Shriners Hospitals for Children-Chicago to train qualified candidates. Fellows selected for the program will receive training to: 1) conduct high-quality research; 2) complete a course of didactic and research instruction; and, 3) secure an academic and/or clinical position in rehabilitation research. The training for the fellow will be focused on disseminating publications, conference presentations, and the generation of high-quality grant proposals. The fellow will be co-advised by Brooke A. Slavens, PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Gerald F. Harris at Marquette University.
The fellow will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. Individuals with expertise in biomedical engineering, biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, and human movement sciences are encouraged to apply. Qualified candidates must have a doctorate in engineering, physical therapy, or occupational therapy with strong research skills. Interest in mobility, pediatrics, shoulder biomechanics, wheelchair biomechanics, and/or biomechanical modeling is desired.
To apply, please submit a cover letter with your research interests and experience, a CV, and two letters of recommendation to https://employment.marquette.edu/postings/14153. We encourage applications from women, members of minority and underrepresented groups, veterans, persons with disabilities, and others who would bring additional dimensions to the university’s research and teaching mission. The review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
