HARRINGTON DEPARTMENT OF BIOENGINEERING
Neuromotor Control Research Positions
 
A new research focus area in neuromotor therapy is being established through
a partnership between The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the
Harrington Department of Bioengineering and the newly formed Arizona
BioDesign Institute at ASU and Banner Health Systems (Good Samaritan
Regional Medical Center). Laboratories co-directed by Professor Ranu Jung in
Center for Rehabilitation Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Engineering (RNRE)
offer several opportunities to work with animal models of neurotrauma,
engineering design and computational modeling. The following full time
academic professional positions are available as part of this new joint
research program starting in October 2002.  
 
Assistant/Associate Research Professional: The position requires MS in Life
Science, Bioengineering or a related field.  A PhD is desired.  The person
in this position should have good writing and communication skills. S/he
will work with animal models of neurotrauma, engineering design, and
computational modeling, contribute to studies related to motor
control/biomechanics/neurophysiology, perform lab management tasks,
coordinate multiple studies, and supervise and train students in the lab if
needed.  Appointment at the associate level requires 2 or more years
experience beyond MS or a PhD degree. Continuation of this position is
contingent upon funding.
 
Assistant/Associate Research Technologist:  This position requires a BS in
Life Science, Bioengineering or a related field.  An MS is desired. This
person will work with animal models of neurotrauma, engineering design and
computational modeling. Experience with vertebrate animal care, surgical and
routine laboratory procedures, histology and neurochemistry procedures will
be beneficial. Appointment at the associate level requires 2 or more years
experience beyond BS or an MS degree. Continuation of this position is
contingent upon funding.
 
Post-doctoral Research Associates (2):  This position requires a PhD in Life
Science, Bioengineering or a related field.  The person should have
appropriate training with interests/experience in one or more of the
following: neuromotor control, mathematical modeling, electrical
stimulation, neurochemistry, electrophysiology, kinematics, control systems,
and experimental skills with vertebrate in-vivo/chronic spinal injury animal
models. The person will work with animal models of neurotrauma, engineering
design and computational modeling.  Continuation of these positions is
contingent upon funding.
 
Arizona State University enrolls more than 49,000 students, 6,000 of them
within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.  Located within the
thriving Phoenix metropolitan area, the College is on the leading edge of
innovations in engineering education and continuously works to build
stronger alliances with the many high technology industrial partners located
nearby.
