The Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences (DPTHMS), Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, invites senior scientists to apply for a new full-time appointment for a tenured position in the area of Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The research program of qualified candidates should contain a translational component, with this requirement being broadly defined, ranging from studies of mechanisms of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders with translational implications to clinical studies on patients. A strong record of federal grant support is essential. A major component of the position will involve a significant leadership role for further developing the Department's already excellent research program, with a specific goal of expanding translational research. Teaching responsibilities will be modest, primarily involving courses for graduate students in physical therapy, neuroscience and/or biomedical engineering. This position is being offered at the assistant/associate professor level. Salary is negotiable. Ideal applicants will hold a PhD or PhD/PT, with a strong track record of scholarly productivity, grant support and trainee mentorship.
