The Department of Neurological Sciences (DONS) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center seeks an expert in human factors, human systems integration and health care delivery. The successful candidate will be expected to participate actively in an ambitious new multidisciplinary initiative in the study of engineering and technology in healthcare delivery that includes faculty across the UNMC campus. The position offers numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary research collaborations throughout the university. Candidates for this academic position should have a PhD or MD/PhD degree with specific training and expertise in human factors/ergonomics. Applications will be considered at the junior, mid- career, or senior level. Faculty rank will be commensurate with expertise. The successful candidate should have the expertise needed for the integration of older and cognitively impaired individuals into the design of healthcare tools, interfaces and systems. Relevant expertise includes human factors engineering, human systems integration, simulation, patient safety, electronic health records, smart homes, the built environment and use of remote sensor data for monitoring patient physiology, mobility, transportation, behavior and health in the field.

The DONS features outstanding strengths in movement disorders, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions, and includes neuroimaging (including MEG). The department is well-ranked by the US News World & Report, and is undergoing a major expansion in clinical neurology and neuroscience. The Institution features a growing interdisciplinary neuroscience community, and neuroscience and translational research have been targeted as major institutional priorities. The population base features a relatively high percentage of elderly individuals, yielding uncommon research opportunities for research on Mind and Brain health across the lifespan.
