The U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory has openings in the Injury Biomechanics and Protection Group (IBPG) for research staff from entry-level to experienced Principal Investigators.
IBPG conducts medical research to address military operational issues, including protection and performance issues from blast, blunt, and accelerative injuries to the head, neck and spine, torso, and face and eye. We investigate the mechanism of as well as the risk of injury and performance deficits.
A new team member will be expected to fulfill a variety of roles within a multidisciplinary research team and will be involved in all phases of research: planning, execution, analysis, and publication.
Opportunities are available for entry-level to senior candidates. Qualified candidates would have a degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Biomedical), Kinesiology, Biomechanics, Exercise Science, Human Factors, Injury Epidemiology, or a related field with strong biomechanical, mathematics, or analysis background. Strong analytical skills, critical thinking, and attention to detail are strongly desired.
This position is open to U.S. citizens only.
Candidates will be responsible for preparing presentations and publications and must have excellent communication skills. They should be comfortable working as part of a team or working independently with level of oversight based on their experience and responsibilities. Abilities to keep a broad perspective and to define and prioritize tasks are critical. The applicant will likely be involved in many projects simultaneously and must be adaptable and versatile. The applicant must be able to learn quickly and independently within the unique military research environment.
Desirable candidates would have one or more of the following: strong computer skills with programming experience through standard computer language or within specific scientific packages (such as R, Matlab, SAS); experience designing custom experimental fixtures; experience with human volunteer research; experience with cadaveric research; data analysis skllls; or experience designing and executing experimental studies using laboratory equipment such as motion capture systems, impact and acceleration devices, instrumentation and data acquisition systems, and materials testers.
Activities are based at Fort Rucker in southern Alabama. Occasional travel is required for conducting field research and attending meetings and conferences. All team members will be expected to meet DoD policies, procedures, and training requirements.
For more information, interested individuals should send questions and/or CVs to Ms. Kim Vasquez at kimberly.b.vasquez.civ@mail.mil and Dr. Carol Chancey at valeta.c.chancey.civ@mail.mil.
