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, Harrington Department of Bioengineering and the newly formed Arizona BioDesign Institute at ASU and Banner Health Systems (Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center). Laboratories directed by Professor Ranu Jung 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.

 Post-doctoral Research Associates (2):  Requires PhD in Life Science Bioengineering or related field.  Training in bioengineering, neuroscience or a related discipline with interests/experience in one or more of the following: neuromotor control, mathematical modeling, electrical stimulation, neurochemistry, electrophysiology, kinematics, control systems, experimental skills with vertebrate in-vivo/chronic spinal injury animals models are highly desirable.

These positions will work with animal models of neurotrauma, engineering design and computation modeling.  Continuation of these positions is contingent upon funding.

Assistant/Associate Research Technologist:  Requires BS in Life Science, Bioengineering or a related field.  Experience with vertebrate animal care, surgical and routine laboratory procedures, histology and neurochemistry procedures, MS in Life Science, Bioengineering or a related field desired.

This position will work with animal models of neurotrauma, engineering design and computational modeling.  Continuation of this position is contingent upon funding.

 

Assistant/Associate Research Professional: Requires MS in Life Science, Bioengineering or a related field.  Training in bioengineering, neuroscience or a related discipline, ability to perform lab management tasks, coordinate multiple studies, demonstrate good writing and communication skills, PhD in Life Science, Bioengineering or a related field is desired. 

This position 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, and coordinate multiple studies, and supervise and train students in the lab if needed.  Continuation of this position 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.
