Job Description

Opportunity

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.

Research Project

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.
