Please repost! We have a second biomechanics faculty position!

This is an open rank clinical-track position in sports biomechanics at the University of Michigan. This is a largely teaching-focused position and we have outstanding resources to support teaching and student learning. #BiomechSky

It's like reliving the uncertainty, and then relief + exhilaration of finding Ruby or Emerald Weapon with your golden chocobo, catching Missingno. off the coast of Cinnabar Island, or finding your other favorite easter egg for the first time.

Camping in Utah is like video games in the late 90s. You hear info about a special spot, find vague directions online from a sketchy website, spend hours following unmarked roads wondering if this is a waste of time, and then get to the destination and it lives up to the hype.

NCMRR-Funded Funded Projects

The number of NEW, competing grants issued by the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) in FY25 (FY24 totals for reference):
R01s: 2 (20)
R21s: 0 (7)
F31s: 1 (6)
F32s: 1 (3)
K01s: 1 (1)

5 new grants almost half-way through = the uncertainty from CRs and administrative changes.

There are currently three open faculty positions (all levels) in my department (Psychology)
Oslo is a lovely city, modestly sized (600k) but a capital, surrounded by forest and the fjord

We're also a stable democracy with high support of and trust in science

Alfredo's Pizza or Pizza by Alfredo?

Sometimes your former lab members plant easter eggs that you discover years later.

After, I frequently joked that I'm happy to give advice on how to navigate the unfortunate circumstances if your granting agency suddenly disappears overnight. It got many laughs, because people recognized how absurd the situation was.

I'm devastated more people will now share a similar experience
