Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine invites applications for a qualified Junior Specialist to serve as a lab coordinator for the Biomechanics, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Neuroscience (BRaIN) lab at UC Davis Medical Center and UC Davis.
POSITION DESCRIPTION:
Research (90%)
This study is under the direction of Dr. Carolynn Patten and in collaboration with Drs. Kwan Ng and Rebecca Boxer. The goal of the study is to use tools from systems neuroscience to explore how neurologic injuries including stroke, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's Disease, and aging affect coordination and regulation of movements such as walking, reaching, and grasping. Foci of the research program are biomarkers and individual differences mediating recovery of function following neurologic injury.
The incumbent will be fundamentally involved in the planning and execution of multiple studies in this established research program. The incumbent will work collaboratively with the PI to identify the steps necessary to implement the research projects, which include: IRB submission, participant recruitment, coordination of study activities, identification and development of measures for use in the studies, and successful implementation of those measures in the study itself. Furthermore, the incumbent will have the opportunity to creatively contribute to the research projects by proposing alternative analysis strategies; generating novel projects with existing data; reviewing literature for manuscript preparation, presentations, and/or grant proposals. Studies of this magnitude often require thinking creatively to design a protocol that can accommodate the study population, in this case older adults and adults with neuromotor dysfunction. The incumbent will be expected to be an active member of the research team in creatively adapting protocols and documenting changes as appropriate. The incumbent will assist the PI in many aspects of the research studies and will work independently under supervision of the PI to ensure adherence to study protocols, activities which include consent procedures, clinical interviewing, and behavioral testing. The incumbent will assist in data management, as it pertains directly to the execution of the research projects. The incumbent will contribute to writing and review of relevant manuscripts, developing and generating illustrations, and will be acknowledged with authorship or in the acknowledgement section, as appropriate, based upon the work completed and significance of the intellectual contribution. The incumbent will be actively and significantly involved in publishable research activities, including reviewing journal articles and engaging in discussions on research and the interpretation of research results with PI and others in the lab.
Professional Competence (5%)
The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal, communication, and decision-making skills, as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. The incumbent may have the opportunity to submit data for presentation at relevant conferences, such as the Society for Neuroscience, International or American Society of Biomechanics, American Society for Neurorehabilitation, American Physical Therapy Association, and others. Authorship order will be determined based on the effort contributed to the presentation and significance of the contribution. The incumbent is expected to actively participate in weekly lab meetings, journal club presentations, presentations from outside speakers, and weekly workshops to help incumbents develop their career goals. The incumbent will also participate in appropriate professional/technical societies or groups and/or review research proposals, journal manuscripts, and publications related to area of expertise.
Service (5%)
The incumbent will have opportunities to participate in public outreach and service activities through the UC Davis Biomechanics, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Neuroscience (BRaIN) lab. The incumbent will act as a mentor for undergraduate volunteers in the lab, and provide training in lab procedures.
