I’ve used a site called recruit.net which finds jobs based on a keyword from most international job websites. So in this case I’d use a keyword like “kinesiology” and job postings using that in the title or description should come up. I’m sure there’s a similar website in the USA.

Is this what you’d called a Government position? Just wondering if there would be any stifling of creativity/initiative in performing research in a Government position. Just a thought. On the plus side the funding would be excellent and I guess the experience would be valuable too.
