Classification Title:	Postdoc Associate
Job Description:	A postdoctoral researcher position studying electrocortical activity during human navigation is available in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Ferris (https://faculty.eng.ufl.edu/human-neuromechanics-laboratory). This position is for an initial one-year appointment, and has the potential to be renewed for three additional years based on performance and funding availability. The postdoctoral research will work on a currently funded NIH project (R01 AG089050) designed to identify neural correlates of cognitive-motor impairments in older adults. Research will involve using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) to track changes in electrocortical dynamics in older adults that complete a navigation task in virtual reality. Subjects will walk overground with an immersive virtual reality headset while we monitor their brain activity.
Expected Salary:	minimum $61,008
Minimum Requirements:	Minimum Qualifications: engineering, Applicants must have a Ph.D. in neuroscience, biomedical kinesiology, or a related biomedical science area. Applicants must have experience with manuscript preparation and submission.
Preferred Qualifications:	Experience with virtual reality, Matlab, EEGLAB, EEG, and motion analysis is desirable.

Postdoc	19340000 - EG-BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING	Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)
Attributes of UF and Gainesville: The BME Department is housed in a state-of-the art building that is located in the medical school and steps from engineering. The University of Florida is one of only a few comprehensive universities, having medical, veterinary, dental, nursing, public health, and engineering disciplines all co-localized on the same, contiguous campus. UF is a highly collaborative environment that provides researchers with many opportunities for learning (e.g., top seminar programs, excellent core research facilities) and research collaborations. Gainesville is located in the northern region of Florida, within 1-1.5 hours of each coast, and just 1.5-2 hours to Orlando and Tampa. It is a small to medium-sized city with a low cost of living, excellent public and private schools, and southern hospitality. The J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering is one of only a few departments in the nation to be co-localized with a top-ranked medical school, veterinary school and dental school. The department is housed in a new state-of-the-art building (completed in 2010) that is co-located with the medical school and steps from engineering. Biomedical Engineering at UF partners with many local research centers and institutes including the McKnight Brain Institute, the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center.
