    SPINAL MECHANICS / IMAGING RESEARCH - UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY

    Applications are invited for a graduate student position at the M.Sc.
    level in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary.

    This position is available in the general area of spinal
    biomechanics with emphasis on the non-invasive quantification of
    force-displacement properties via imaging. Secure funding for this
    position is provided by NSERC (the Natural Sciences and Engineering
    Research Council of Canada).

    Potential areas of research include investigations related to
    force-displacement properties of spinal tissues (muscular, osseous,
    vascular), 3D reconstruction of spinal structures via ultrasonic imaging
    and quantification of disc diffusion gradients via MRI. Each of these
    areas may be explored in relation to various disease states (e.g.
    instability, scoliosis, degeneration).

    The University of Calgary has extensive resources in the areas of
    biomechanics, cell and molecular biology and computer analyses between the
    Faculty of Kinesiology, the McCaig Centre for Joint Injury and Arthritis
    Research and the Faculty of Engineering. In addition, a new degree program
    in Biomedical Engineering has just been established, in part due to a
    Whitaker Special Opportunities award.

    For consideration, please submit a full C.V. with the names and phone
    numbers of three references, as well as a one-page statement of research
    interests and goals.
