  • Graduate Research Assistantships in Soft Tissue Biomechanics

    The Tulane Computational Biomechanics Laboratory (formerly the Tulane
    Cartilage Laboratory) invites applications for graduate assistantships at
    the Master's & Doctoral level in the field of soft tissue
    biomechanics. Eligible students will participate in one of several ongoing
    projects; they include experimental characterizations of viscoelasticity of
    soft tissues, computational simulations of dynamic behaviors of soft
    tissues under impact loading, injury and repair of soft tissues, and tissue
    engineering. Soft tissues currently under investigations include articular
    cartilage, tendon, ligament, and brain tissues. Students with academic
    backgrounds in continuum mechanics, finite element method, and
    instrumentation and experiments with computer skills (UNIX and C
    programming language) are encouraged to apply. A strong interest in life
    science, biology or related disciplines may also be necessary, since most
    of our projects are multidisciplinary with close collaborations between
    bioengineers, biologists, and clinicians.

    The assistantships include a competitive stipend with full tuition coverage
    and fringe benefits. The Tulane Biomedical Engineering program has a long
    history of excellent education and research since its foundation in 1977,
    and the Tulane Computational Biomechanics Laboratory has been recently
    established through the Whitaker Special Opportunity Award. The Laboratory
    has a strong cohesive working environment among various nationalities and
    ethnic groups. Further detailed information about the Laboratory can be
    found at our website (http://www.bmen.tulane.edu/~fsuh/index.html) sorry
    that the laboratory name on the web page has not been updated
    yet. Interested students should contact:
