Open Faculty position - Rehabilitation Engineering, Prosthetics/Orthotics - Northwestern University
The Northwestern University Prosthetics-Orthotics Center (NUPOC) of the NU Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago is seeking applications for a full-time, non-tenure-eligible faculty appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor for research and education opportunities. NUPOC operates two clinical education programs: 1) The Masters in Prosthetics and Orthotics (MPO) is an innovative blended-learning program that is the largest and oldest accredited P&O training institution in the Western Hemisphere. 2) The Masters in Prosthetics and Orthotics Research (MPO-R) is a new dual-training degree program that allows selected students to combine their clinical training with advanced rehabilitation research skills. NUPOC houses the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center Motion Analysis Research Laboratory, a state-of-the-art laboratory for biomechanical measurement of human movement, and will soon be opening a new motion analysis laboratory featuring a Motek M-Gait system with a split-belt instrumented treadmill and projection screen.
The selected candidate will complement and expand a thriving and long-standing research program involving multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, clinicians, and other rehabilitation scientists. Some of the duties of this role include, but are not limited to:
Ideal candidates will have obtained a Doctorate from an accredited university. A Doctorate in an Engineering specialty, Prosthetics-Orthotics, Biomechanics, Physical Therapy, Kinesiology, or related discipline is strongly preferred. At least 2 years of Postdoctoral research experience is preferred.
This full-time position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. Applications received by September 30th, 2024, will be given preference, and interviews are expected to begin in October 2024. For further information about this opportunity or if you have any questions, please contact Prof. Matty Major at matthew-major@northwestern.edu or 312-503-5731.
