****************************************************
Motor Control Postdoctoral Fellow
Start Date:  September 1, 1995

I seek a postdoctoral fellow for an NSF funded study on the learning of
coordination during complex multijoint voluntary actions.  I use computer
simulation and empirical methods to address phenomena and mechanisms that
underlie the learning of coordination between balance, posture and
voluntary task goals during multijoint pulls made by freely-standing
humans.  Two new, large movement analysis laboratories are available with
full computerized capabilities for collecting and analyzing biomechanical
and EMG data (force plates, motion analysis, load cells).

Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. in motor systems neuroscience,
engineering, kinesiology or a related discipline.  Knowledge of
biomechanics (including modeling), systems analysis, nonlinear dynamics,
motor psychology or statistics are highly desirable.  Good communication
skills are a strong plus.  Opportunities exist for participating in
seminars and courses offered through the Institute for Neuroscience,
Programs in Medical Biomechanics, Physiology, Programs in Physical Therapy,
and other departments.  Please send a letter of application (including
career goals), vita and the names, addresses and phone numbers of two
references to Wynne A. Lee, Ph.D., Programs in Physical Therapy,
Northwestern University Medical School, 645 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago IL
60611-2814. Email: wlee at casbah.acns.nwu.edu
