The Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC, USA, is hiring a post-doc and research engineer to investigate Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Post Stroke.
Please see the below for additional information regarding the position.
Research Position in Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Post Stroke
Available Position: Postdoctoral Scholar and Research Engineer
Desired Qualification:
Research Focus: We have an exciting research program in which we test the efficacy of novel upper extremity neurorehabilitation treatments for persons who had a stroke. We quantify the impact of these novel treatments using clinical assessments, limb kinetics/kinematics, muscular coordination (EMG), and brain dynamics (EEG, TMS, MRI).
Environment: We have very strong interdisciplinary collaborations with neurology, occupational/physical therapy, engineering, biostatistics, data science, psychiatry, nursing, qualitative research, implementation science, and technology transfer/commercialization. We provide an excellent training environment to grow one’s research career. We provide individualized training in grant writing, journal clubs, clinical research rounds, and career development workshops, through resources from multiple NIH-funded centers on campus:
Interested individuals should email their CV and a statement of interest to:
