  • Faculty Positions (2 Available) Announcement

    The Musculoskeletal Research Center (MSRC) of the Department of
    Orthopaedic Surgery is currently seeking candidates for two tenure
    track, full-time faculty positions in Cartilage Biomechanics and
    Upper Extremity/Hand Biomechanics at the Assistant/Associate
    Professor level. Successful candidates will be expected to merit
    secondary appointments in the School of Engineering. The MSRC was
    established in 1990 for the purpose of developing integrated programs
    in Orthopaedic education and research where engineers, scientists,
    and physicians along with staff guide and teach quality students,
    research fellows and residents.

    1) Candidates for the Cartilage Biomechanics position must have a
    Ph.D. or equivalent degree in biomedical, mechanical, or other
    related engineering discipline is preferred. Engineering research
    background in the following areas of specialization: mechanism of
    cartilage fluid/solid interface, biomechanical testing of cartilage
    and meniscus using confined an unconfined compression, and
    computational techniques for appropriate analyses. Cellular and
    functional tissue engineering will be helpful.

    2) Candidates for the Upper Extremity/Hand Biomechanics position must
    have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in biomedical, mechanical or other
    related engineering discipline is preferred. Engineering research
    background in one or more of the following areas of specialization:
    computer visualization and computational modeling, analyses of joint
    kinematics, characterization of ligaments and tendons, and
    biomechanical testing.

    Successful applicants at the Assistant Professor level will be
    expected to pursue independent research as well as collaborate with
    current clinical faculty. Guidance and help will be provided to
    successfully seek extramural funding. More senior candidates are
    expected to have demonstrated a record of original research and
    funding.

    It is also expected that successful candidates will teach regularly
    scheduled courses and supervise undergraduate and graduate students.

    Qualified applicants should forward a comprehensive curriculum vitae
    and three letters of recommendation to:
    Savio L-Y. Woo, Ph.D., D.Sc.
    Ferguson Professor and Director
