Assistant/Associate Professor in Biomechanics or Motor Control

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (https://illinois.edu/) and the Department of Health and Kinesiology (https://hk.illinois.edu/) invite applications for a nine-month, tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in Biomechanics or Motor Control. We seek a highly qualified scholar whose work advances understanding of human movement and neuromotor control using experimental, computational, and/or applied techniques. Candidates whose research complements existing departmental strengths in biomechanics, motor control, exercise physiology, neurophysiology, or rehabilitation engineering are particularly encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will contribute to the Department’s research, teaching, and service missions, and will have the opportunity to collaborate with interdisciplinary research centers across campus, including the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, Disability Resources and Educational Services, the Neuroscience Program, and the Center for Health, Aging, and Disability. Candidates connecting biomechanics and motor control to health technology, rehabilitation, or human performance are especially encouraged.
