The Movement Disorders Laboratory at the Montréal Geriatric Institute, located in the province of Quebec in Canada, is looking for a well-published, outstanding postdoctoral fellow to help develop new methods of motion capture using novel technologies such as markerless motion detection for use in clinical settings. Specifically, the candidate will oversee developing algorithms to detect and assess the symptomatology, quantity, and quality of movements in persons with movement disorders. The tenure is for a minimum of one year, with possibility of renewal for two more years depending on successful application to provincial scholarships. The candidate should have a strong background in motion capture, time series analysis, computer coding with R or MATLAB. A degree in Engineering would be an asset. The candidate should have received his PhD after November 2020 to be eligible for scholarships here in Canada.
Pr. Duval’s lab is implicated in multiple projects using wearables to answer pertinent clinical questions, as well as in the development of methods to assess the ecological mobility of patients with different neurological disorders. The tenure of the successful applicant will also include participating actively in other projects, so that he/she will benefit from participating in a well-established multidisciplinary team. In fact, the candidate will take a leadership role in the development of research, grant proposals and graduate student training. Furthermore, a focus of the lab is to publish in impactful Journals, in which the postdoctoral fellow will take a prominent role. The fellow will present his/her results at prominent international conferences.
Montreal is welcoming, bilingual (French, English), vibrant, multicultural city, with four large universities (McGill, U de Montreal, UQAM and Concordia) and world-class research facilities. In addition, Montreal is relatively inexpensive to live compared to other large north American cities.
Candidates from Ukraine are welcome, and careful attention to their CV will be given.
CV of applicants should be sent directly to Pr. Duval at duval.christian@uqam.ca.
