Hourly Research Assistants

The Neuromechanics and Applied Locomotion Laboratory at the University of Utah is hiring a full-time Research Assistant to assist with on-going funded research examining balance and mobility, particularly in people with mild traumatic brain injuries (i.e., concussions). The candidate will have the opportunity to work on several federally-funded and foundation-funded projects with Dr. Peter Fino and collaborators. The candidate will interact on a regular basis with volunteer research subjects, physical therapists, engineers, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other faculty from various groups across campus, including Neurology, Physical Therapy & Athletic Training, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Psychology, and with research teams at other institutions across the country.

The ideal applicant should have experience working with human research participants, exceptional interpersonal skills, experience in clinical settings, a grasp of biomechanics, anatomy, and rehabilitation, and strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

The position is a full-time (40 hrs/wk) position. The position will be renewable annually based on job performance and the availability of funding. The grant is expected to run until June 30, 2030.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
