Postdoctoral position at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA
The Center for Human Movement Studies at the School of Applied Physiology of Georgia Tech
(http://www.ap.gatech.edu/) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position to work
on a project "Sensorimotor Control of Locomotion after Peripheral Nerve Injury". The
scope of the project will include investigations of (1) mechanical response of the local
musculoskeletal system to peripheral nerve injury and repair, (2) short-term compensation
of muscle coordination during the recovery from self-reinnervation of selected ankle
extensors in the cat, and (3) contribution of proprioception from intact muscles to
adaptation of the motor patterns to the loss of feedback in selected ankle extensors. The
research will involve close collaboration with the groups of Dr. Arthur English (Emory
University) and T. Richard Nichols (Emory University/Georgia Tech). The Center for Human
Movement Studies has a 6-camera Vicon system, three small Bertec force platforms, and
equipment for recording muscle and nerve activity and forces from selected muscles.
The appointment will start immediately and be for one year initially and renewable up to
a total of 3-5 years. Successful candidate is expected to have a background in
human/animal movement science, biomedical engineering, neurophysiology or related fields.
Experience in motion analysis, animal surgery and chronic physiological recordings is
beneficial.
Existing research programs at the School of Applied Physiology use a systems physiology
approach to study movement and mobility at all levels, from molecule to organism.
Research areas include muscle and exercise physiology, neural control, biomechanics, and
prosthetics and orthotics. Opportunities for collaboration exist on campus and with the
Emory School of Medicine, Georgia State University and the Atlanta VA Medical Center.
Georgia Tech is one of the top 10 US public research universities and is situated on an
attractive 400 acre campus in the heart of Atlanta, a culturally-rich and dynamic city.
Please send CV, research summary, and contact information of three references to Dr.
Robert J. Gregor at robert.gregor@ap.gatehc.edu or Dr. Boris I. Prilutsky at
boris.prilutsky@ap.gatech.edu.

The Department of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern University announces
the availability of a postdoctoral position. We are seeking a Ph.D. with an
engineering background to study the functional impact of degenerative spine
deformity and surgical fusion. Ongoing projects include pre- and
post-operative gait analyses of persons undergoing spinal fusion,
investigations of spinal balance and gait, and the effect of spinal
deformity and surgery on energy expenditure. Experience with quantitative
gait analysis and MATLAB is required.
