About this position

The Neural Plasticity Rehabilitation and Movement Dynamics (NERD) Lab at the University of Utah is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a full-time, on-site position in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.

The project focuses on motor recovery after stroke and the development of novel interventions to improve arm and hand function. The researcher will recruit human participants and collect/analyze biomechanical, neurophysiological, and clinical data. The role is strongly aligned with neuroscience, biomedical engineering, motor control, kinesiology, and related quantitative methods.

Preferred expertise includes electromyography, non-invasive brain stimulation, spinal reflexes, DTI, fMRI, kinematics, kinetics, data analysis, and signal processing. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, motor control, or kinesiology, and should have strong writing, analytical, communication, and teamwork skills.

This is a one-year contract that is renewable based on performance and availability of funds. The posting states that funding is expected to be available for at least 4 years, and the pay range is $50k-$72k DOE/DOF.

To apply, submit a CV and cover letter as one PDF through the University of Utah application portal. Questions may be directed to Amit Sethi, Associate Professor, at [email protected]. Deadline: 2026-12-16.
