*Faculty Position in Human Movement Science*

*Northeastern University, Boston, MA*

*Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor*

*A tenure-track position is open in Human Movement Sciences in the
Department of Biology, College of Science and the Department of Physical
Therapy, Movement and Rehabilitation Science, Bouve College of Health
Sciences, at Northeastern University.*

The position is open for applicants from the Assistant to the Full
Professor rank. The candidate’s research can be in the areas of
experimental, computational, or clinical human movement, with a possible
bridge to prosthetics and robotics. This position is part of a growing
university-wide cluster in the science of human movement, spanning research
strengths from basic experimental and computational research to
rehabilitation science, robotics, and neuroengineering. Priority will be
placed on research strengths that complement existing strengths in
computational human movement science, rehabilitation science,
neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and control theory, although excellence is
of top-most priority. Depending on the research profile, an affiliated
appointment with Bioengineering or Electrical and Mechanical Engineering is
possible. The anticipated start date is Fall Semester, 2019.

Responsibilities will include conducting an independent, externally funded
research program, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, and
participating in departmental, college and university service. Qualified
candidates should have experience in, or be able to demonstrate a
commitment to, working with diverse student populations and/or in a
culturally diverse work and educational environment.

The Department of Biology is strongly interdisciplinary, with 20 tenured
and tenure-track faculty in Biology and an additional 9 faculty with joint
appointments in other departments. The department administers programs in
the College of Science at Northeastern University for 1,200 undergraduates,
and 100 students in Ph.D., Masters, and Professional Masters programs. The
Department of Physical Therapy, Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences,
located within Bouvé College of Health Sciences, is comprised of 10 tenured
and tenure track faculty and 20 clinical faculty. The Department offers a
Ph.D. program in Human Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences, as well as one
of the oldest and largest Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) programs in
the country. Grounded in its signature co-op program, Northeastern provides
unprecedented global experiential learning opportunities. Northeastern
University occupies a vibrant 67-acre campus in the heart of Boston,
surrounded by other leading educational, health care, technological, and
research institutions, as well as world-renowned venues for art and music.

Applicants must have a PhD in the life sciences, including physical
medicine and physical therapy, neuroscience, neurophysiology,
bioengineering, electrical or mechanical engineering, kinesiology,
rehabilitation sciences, or other related disciplines. All applicants
should have a strong record of scholarly accomplishment that demonstrate
research productivity and the ability to perform cutting edge research.
Candidates seeking appointment at the associate or full professor level
should have substantial research productivity and a history of grant
support and academic service.

*Please submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter, a two-page description of
research accomplishments and plans, a statement on teaching, and the name
and contact information for three references through the application portal*
