Research Assistant in Biomechanics (Markerless Motion Capture)

For this industry funded project, you will be responsible for organising and coordinating the collection of high-quality, synchronous, multi-camera video data across multiple exclusive real-world environments (capture volumes). Each capture volume requires a minimum of 24 cameras, and you will collect multiple participants completing a variety of activities of daily living (e.g., walk, jog, run, jump, hop, skip).

You will work with Dr's Rich Foster and Karl Gibbon to collect, process, and share the data that is collected with our industry partners for a fixed term (until 11th February 2025), working 15 hours per week.

You will also contribute to research that aligns with the Biomechanics Research Group within the Research Institute.
