Position Overview
Research Fellow in Biomechanics of Human Movement, Faculty of Biological Sciences.
Salary: Grade 7 (£41,064 - £48,822 p.a.)
This role will be based on the university campus. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements. Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive universities?
Funding
Funded by the Niall Community Fund we are undertaking a piece of research that will establish the kinematics and kinetics of gait and the associated muscle activity of walking. This data will then be used to further inform the development of a home‑based gait rehabilitation device, principally for use by people with a spinal cord injury.
Responsibilities
The work will involve literature/systematic reviews, cross‑sectional data collection in our labs, analysis of data using AI techniques, and further refinement of the rehabilitation device.
Qualifications
You should have a PhD (or be close to completion) in Sport and Exercise Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely allied discipline, with experience in collecting and analysing 3D kinematic data, surface electromyography, and force platform data.
