Post-Doc Position to study running injury and footwear (Indiana University Bloomington, USA)
Postdoctoral fellow position in the Department of Kinesiology— Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington
A postdoctoral position is available in the IU Biomechanics Lab, under the direction of Dr. Allison Gruber. This is an industry-funded position for a minimum of one year and is renewable each year the industry contract is renewed. The position includes benefits and compensation congruent with NIH stipend levels. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, but applications received by 30 April 2022 will be given full consideration and the search will remain open until suitable candidate is found. The earliest anticipated start date is 1 June 2022 but is negotiable.
The focus of the industry-funded project is the effect of footwear on neuromuscular function, fatigue, and habitual joint movement during running and the etiology of running-related injuries. This project involves prospective research studies including motion capture, wearable technology, dynamometry, metabolic, and physical activity experiments in healthy adults.
Responsibilities: The successful applicant will be expected to lead studies and generate new knowledge that is consistent with the overall goal of the funded project. This includes generating peer-reviewed publications. Resources are available for travel to scientific meetings and formal training is available with regards to grant writing, research ethics, rigor and reproducibility, and clinical trial management. There will also be opportunities to develop your own independent research interests. The successful applicant will be exposed to other studies in the laboratory, which will involve additional aspects of the biomechanics of human locomotion.
Qualifications: Applicants with a PhD or equivalent terminal degree in exercise science, kinesiology, engineering or related field are invited to apply. ABD will be considered for interview but a terminal degree from an accredited educational institution must be earned by the start date. Experience with human subjects research is required, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Candidates should possess strong scientific writing skills and programming skills (e.g. MATLAB). The successful candidate should be an enthusiastic scientist, a good teammate, and have demonstrated exceptional potential.
Application Procedure: Provide CV, cover letter summarizing research interests and fit for position, writing sample, and a list of three references. Interested candidates should submit applications at: https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/12630
Questions pertaining to the PeopleAdmin application procedure may be directed to Dave Archer at dwarcher@iu.edu. Questions regarding the position may be directed to Dr. Allison Gruber at ahgruber@indiana.edu.
