TENURETRACK FACULTY POSITIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
The Department of Physical Therapy is undergoing considerable transformation as Temple
University engages in a strategic renaissance to become a primer research university over
the next several years. We are pleased to announce that two open rank tenure‐track faculty
positions are available. The department has a rapidly growing human neuromotor research
program. All of our research oriented faculty have joint appointments in various academic
departments and collaborate with faculty from the Departments of Engineering, Neurology,
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Computer and Information Science to apply
technological advances to research in the areas of pediatrics, aging, and neurological
impairment. The department currently has two motion analysis laboratories that include a
state of the art virtual reality CAVE and computerized activity monitoring. Temple
University School of Medicine is currently developing a center for research in the area of
neural repair and rehabilitation, and access to patient populations is available through
Temple University Hospital and the Shriners Hospitals Pediatric Research Center.
We are seeking individuals with a track record of grant support and published research.
We are willing to consider hiring a collaborative team for the two positions.
Responsibilities will include maintaining an active research agenda, obtaining funding, and
teaching and mentoring graduate students in our research oriented PhD program. A
graduate degree (PhD or equivalent) is required. A degree and licensure in Physical
Therapy is not necessary. Post‐doctoral or evidence of research experience, particularly in
the areas of applied neuroscience or human motor control research, is an asset.
Academic rank and salary are commensurate with qualifications. Temple is an equal
opportunity, affirmative action employer. All nominations and those interested in applying
may submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references to:
Dr. Emily Keshner
Professor and Chair
Department of Physical Therapy
College of Health Professions & Social Work
Temple University
3307 North Broad Street
Philadelphia, PA 19140
ekeshner@temple.edu
Fax: 215‐707‐7500
Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.

Postdoctoral Fellowship - 3D Reconstruction for Image Based Phenomics
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
Location: Canberra, Australia
Applications Close: 31 May 2010
Selection criteria and more information:
https://recruitment.csiro.au/asp/Job_Details.asp?RefNo=2010%2F208
The Postdoctoral Fellow will have responsibility for developing and
implementing methods in 3D reconstruction, mainly of insects and plants,
from multiple 2D views and additional 3D information. In essence, the
research seeks to develop automated techniques to infer complete,
accurate, full-colour, high-resolution 3D reconstructions using 2D images
from multiple viewpoints, and 3D data points from laser scanning, or
similar technologies. This aims to exploit the strengths of both 2D and 3D
measurements while avoiding their individual weaknesses. Initial steps
will involve working with a series of known 3D reference objects of
increasing structural and surface complexity, using existing CSIRO image
capture devices and image processing hardware. The Postdoctoral Fellow
will develop extensible open-source software to facilitate uptake and
co-development of new algorithms.
