Postdoctoral Fellowship: Musical biofeedback for gait training in Parkinson’s disease
We are thrilled to welcome applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our new NIH-funded project at the Musculoskeletal Control & Dynamics lab at Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA)!
The goal of our new project is to evaluate the feasibility of using music-based biofeedback in gait training for persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This includes the study of walking and turning performed by persons with PD, either with or without music biofeedback conveying real-time measures of their postural control. The postdoctoral fellow will take a lead role in this exciting research. See here for more information: https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/11290611
Qualifications:
+PhD, MD, or equivalent doctoral degree in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Biomechanics, or a related field.
+Candidates in ABD (“all but dissertation”) status will also be considered
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
+Expertise in the biomechanics of human movement or physical rehabilitation
+Excellent written, verbal and computer skills
+Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
+Strong ability to work independently and collaboratively
+Excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills
+Demonstrated ability to organize and execute human subjects research experiments
+Experience working in a fast-paced environment
Preferred Qualifications:
+Prior clinical or research experience with persons with Parkinson’s disease.
Application Timeline
We prefer to receive applications by **June 15, 2026**, but the position will remain open until filled.
To apply, please use this link
+Feel welcome to contact me with any questions.
Please share this opportunity with your network to help us find an excellent researcher to join our team!
