About the Role
Are you an aspirational researcher with a background and strong interest in the biomechanics of human movement? Are you passionate about using biomechanics and motor learning to understand health, performance and injury?
In this position, you will help drive a programme of research around Biomechanics- and Ecological Dynamics-related projects. Your work will include lab-/field-based data collection, data analysis and programming (e.g. Matlab, Python and/or R), literature reviews, writing publications and mentoring staff and students. You will have an established background in the biomechanics of human movement, and experience with motor learning - ideally Ecological Dynamics and non-linear dynamics analysis.
