Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Physiology of Overreaching/Overtraining The Neuromuscular Research Laboratory (NMRL)/Warrior Human Performance Research Laboratory (WHPRC) in the Department of Sports Medicine and Nutrition in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh is recruiting for highly motivated Postdoctoral positions to help support funded DoD research studying the physiological mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal adaptations to military and exercise training with a particular focus on the influence of reproductive hormone exposure on bone, muscle, and tendon. Expertise is sought in either endocrinology, biomarkers, metabolism, body composition, wearables, and/or musculoskeletal imaging. The NMRL/WHPRC is a state-of-the-science laboratory encompassing 11,600 square feet of space and features state-of-the-science capabilities in exercise physiology, bone adaptation, and morphology (HRpQCT and DEXA), exercise biochemistry, strength, and performance assessments. The mission of the NMRL/WHPR is to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries and optimize human performance by conducting innovative, multi­disciplinary, basic, and applied research providing evidence and translating scientific knowledge, enhancing clinical decisions and education. This research will lead to improved quality of life and resiliency in athletic, military, and active populations. Our vision is to be internationally recognized as a premier academic research center and its faculty as thought leaders in human performance optimization and musculoskeletal injury prevention.
