Washington University in St. Louis
- **Scheduled Hours**40# **Position Summary**The Systems Neuroscience and Rehabilitation (SNR) Lab, led by Laura McPherson, PT, DPT, PhD, has immediate openings for multiple staff research positions. In the SNR Lab, we study changes in neural control of movement after neurological injury due to multiple sclerosis or stroke. We do this primarily through analysis of motor unit population discharge, obtained non-invasively via decomposition of high-density surface electromyography. We are interested in how these changes relate to specific motor deficits and investigate how they can be targeted to improve the efficacy of neurorehabilitation interventions. We also explore various aspects of neural control of movement in the intact nervous system, such as how it differs among muscles with different biomechanical functions. Our growing lab is located within the WashU Medicine, which provides a vibrant, highly collaborative environment for neural engineering and rehabilitation research.# **Job Description****Primary Duties & Responsibilities:**More information about the lab can be found at the SNR Lab website: .**Working Conditions:*** Typically sitting at desk or table.* Typically standing or walking.* Office equipment.* Lab/research equipment.* Working with human subjects – must be physically able to wear any appropriate protective equipment.**Salary Range:**Base pay is commensurate with experience.The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed by people assigned to this classification.
