Clinical Research Scientist (PhD) — R&D Ambassador

Build the Evidence. Represent Science. Change Recovery.

At Ermi, we are building a clinically validated platform that is redefining how patients recover range of motion after injury and surgery.

Our technology is already supported by published clinical evidence and real-world outcomes. Now we are expanding the research function that will define the future of orthopedic rehabilitation.

We are hiring a Clinical Research Scientist to lead that effort—and become the public face of Ermi’s science.

This Role Is Different

This is a founding-level R&D role where you will:

• Publish and present research that directly influences clinical adoption.
• Represent Ermi at leading orthopedic and sports medicine conferences globally.
• Work at the intersection of clinical science, product innovation, and patient outcomes.
• Help build a category-defining body of evidence.

What You’ll Do

1. Lead Clinical Evidence Development

• Design and publish Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)
• Expand Ermi’s research across:
• Therapeutic stretching mechanisms
• Biomechanics and robotic joint testing
• Translate findings into clinically actionable outcomes.

2. Represent Ermi on the Global Stage

• Present research at major conferences (AAOS, AOSSM, ORS, ISAKOS, ESSKA)
• Build relationships with surgeons, researchers, and institutions.
• Establish Ermi as a leader in rehabilitation science.

3. Drive Innovation with Engineering

• Partner directly with product and engineering teams
• Turn clinical insights into new device concepts and protocols.
• Help define the future of Ermi’s R&D pipeline.

Who You Are

• PhD / DSc in biomechanics, kinesiology, biomedical engineering, or related field
• Strong publication record (~10–15+ peer-reviewed articles)
• Confident presenter comfortable in high-visibility environments
• Willing to travel for conferences and research collaboration
• Motivated by impact beyond academia

Our Standard

At Ermi, research is grounded in:

• Patient-first thinking
• Scientific integrity
• A commitment to doing the right thing in every decision

As outlined in our Ermi Motion Code of Conduct, you will be expected to:

• Uphold the highest standards of clinical and research ethics.
• Maintain transparency, compliance, and accountability.
• Represent Ermi with credibility and professionalism.

Bottom Line

This is not a traditional research role.

If you want to publish, present, influence, and build something meaningful at scale, this is that opportunity.
