    Research Engineer/Biomechanist Position Open, Houston, Texas

    The Institute of Orthopedic Research and Education in Houston, Texas, under
    the direction of Philip Noble, Ph.D., has an opening for an engineer
    interested in orthopedic biomechanics research. The laboratory is dedicated
    to the design and evaluation of total hip replacement (THR) systems. Areas
    of focus include simulation of prosthetic function during functional
    activities in a cadaveric model and fixation of designed components into
    their host bones. Experimental studies are conducted in conjunction with
    dynamic computer simulation, finite element analysis and visualization of
    joint motion before and after THR.

    Specific duties include:
    Perform experimental and theoretical research studies in biomechanics and/or
    biomaterials.
    Analysis of experimental data.
    Development of computer visualization and simulation software routines.
    Development and construction of experimental testing devices, both hardware
    and software.
    Will have the opportunity to work with other engineers, technicians, medical
    students, residents, fellows, and clinical faculty.

    Qualifications:
    The desired candidate should have an MS degree in mechanical or biomedical
    engineering or a BS in mechanical or biomedical engineering with knowledge
    and experience in research design and analysis and an interest in orthopedic
    biomechanics. Matlab, C/C++ and CAD experience required. Knowledge and
    experience with mechanical equipment and electronics is highly advantageous.

    Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Qualified
    applicants should send a cover letter, and resume or cv to:
    mconditt@bcm.tmc.edu
    fax: 713-986-7571
