The Neuromuscular Mechanics lab at University of California, Irvine is seeking two Postdoctoral Scientists to engage in research in the areas of muscle physiology, neuromuscular function, locomotor biomechanics and/or sensorimotor control of movement. The Neuromuscular Mechanics Lab is led by Professor Monica Daley (https://neuromechanics.bio.uci.edu) and Professor Manny Azizi (https://azizi.bio.uci.edu), with shared lab facilities and resources for muscle physiology, comparative neuromuscular biomechanics of animal locomotion, and human biomechanics and motor control. Each postdoctoral scientists will have a primary affiliation with either Daley or Azizi and will interact extensively with members of both labs. Our research uses a range of experimental, analytical, and computational approaches to understand fundamental mechanisms of movement, integrating understanding of movement across organizational scales from tissue to whole-body motion.
The postdoctoral scholar will benefit from affiliation with the UCI Center for Integrative Movement Sciences (https://cims.uci.edu/news), Directed by Professor Daley, and will have opportunities to engage with an outstanding network of collaborating scientists across campus and around the world, supported by the NSF-funded Integrative Movement Sciences Institute (IMSI) grant award (see https://rb.gy/dfi5y0). IMSI will provide extensive opportunities for mentorship, networking and opportunity to visit and collaborate with affiliated research laboratories.
Preferred Qualifications include: 1) Expertise in neuromuscular physiology, musculoskeletal biomechanics, sensorimotor control and/or modeling and simulation of locomotion 2) A PhD in a relevant field such as biology, engineering, kinesiology, physics, or mathematics by the start date 3) A peer-reviewed publication record that is appropriate for career stage 4) Strong technical knowledge of biomechanics, statistics and coding skills in Matlab, Python or another suitable language 5) Good organizational skills, time management and attention to detail 6) A keen interest in effective science communication, mentoring junior scientists, and community engagement.
The appointment is for two years at 100% time. Salary range is between $60,000-$71,952 per year based on years of postdoctoral experience using UCI’s salary scales. Desired start date is October 1st, 2024, or soon thereafter. Please direct questions to Dr. Monica Daley (mdaley [at] uci.edu) or Dr. Manny Azizi (eazizi [at] uci.edu).
