**Research Fellow in Biomechanics of Human Movement**:
**Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in biomechanics of human movement? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?**:
Funded by the Niall Community Fund we are undertaking a piece of research that will establish the kinematics and kinetics of gait and the associated muscle activity of walking. This data will then be used to further inform the development of a home-based gait rehabilitation device, principally for use by people with a spinal cord injury. The work will involve literature/systematic reviews, cross sectional data collection in our labs, analyses of data using AI techniques, and further refinement of the rehabilitation device.

You should have a PhD (or close to completion) in Sport and Exercise Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely allied discipline, with experience in collecting and analysing 3D kinematic data, surface electromyography, and force platform data.

What we offer in return:

- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year - Generous pension scheme plus life assurance
- the University contributes 14.5% of salary - Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
- Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.
- And much more
