Harvard Research Fellowship (Paid Internship) in Lifting Biomechanics and Physiology
We are seeking a research fellow with an undergraduate or masters degree in Biomechanics, Kinesiology, Movement Science, Physiology, Biomedical Engineering, to assist with data collection and processing for a number of human subjects experiments at Harvard. The appointment would start immediately and be for at least 12 months, depending on candidate availability.
We are developing soft wearable robots that are lightweight and pliable and can assist with leg and back movement by applying appropriately timed joint torques to the wearer. The successful candidate will work as part of a larger team to assist with collecting and analyzing data gathered from human subjects to be used in advancing the development of multiple wearable robot platforms for occupational and rehabilitation applications. S/he will have access to state of the art equipment (Qualysis cameras, Bertec force plates in an over-ground walkway, a Bertec instrumented treadmill, Delsys Trigno surface electromyography system, and Cosmed K4b2 metabolic test system). The successful candidate will work under the mentorship of a highly interdisciplinary team to assist in report generation. S/he will be expected to contribute to the running of IRB approved studies on healthy and patient populations, including scheduling and note-taking. Attention to detail and professionalism are highly important for the role.
Applications should be sent to Conor Walsh, walsh@seas.harvard.edu and consist of a cover letter and CV, and list of at least three references.
