The Department of Kinesiology and Health at Rutgers University – New Brunswick invites applications for a tenure-track position (nine-month academic year appointment) at the Assistant Professor rank in the area of Motor Behavior (appointment at a higher rank commensurate with experience will be considered). We seek a creative, collaborative scholar with expertise in motor learning, motor control, and/or motor development whose research advances understanding of human movement and behavior, with clear potential for extramural (e.g., NIH, NSF, DoD) funding. Specific relevant areas of interest include, but are not limited to: neural, cognitive, and behavioral mechanisms of motor learning or motor control; development of motor competence and its relation to lifelong physical activity and health; sensorimotor integration, motor adaptation, and motor planning; motor function and skill acquisition in clinical or developmental populations; translational approaches linking motor behavior to rehabilitation, disease prevention, or performance outcomes. Candidates whose research bridges motor behavior with biomechanics, exercise neuroscience, aging, rehabilitation, or physical activity promotion are especially encouraged to apply.
