Job Details
Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge?
Do you have an established background in arm and hand rehabilitation?
Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?
This International Spinal Research Trust funded position is available for a fixed term of 24 months to investigate how transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can be combined with conventional therapy to help recover arm and hand function following an injury to the cervical region of the spinal cord. You will work alongside a team of experts in motor control and academic clinicians, supervised by Dr Sarah Astill and Dr Ronaldo Ichiyama . This truly innovative project will be the first in the UK to examine the efficacy of using transcutaneous electrical stimulation for patients with a chronic cervical spinal cord injury.
We are looking for highly motivated individuals with a strong interest in neurorehabilitation and recovery of hand and arm function, and if possible in cervical spinal cord injury. You should have a qualification as a relevant allied health professional, which is recognised by the Health Care Professions Council, and some experience in assessing arm and hand function and designing and delivering rehabilitation paradigms designed to improve such. Experience in working with people with cervical spinal cord injury, establishing patient public involvement groups and obtaining NHS ethical approval are also welcome.
The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was reawarded a Bronze award in 2017. We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees. Our Athena SWAN webpage provides more information.
