BIOMECHANICS RESEARCH POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
Job Posting: January 9, 2002
Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Laboratory (K-LAB)
www.dukesportsmedicine.com
Duke University Medical Center
Duke Sports Medicine - Division of Orthopaedic Surgery
Durham, NC
K-LAB MISSION: The primary mission of the K-Lab is to better understand
the injury mechanism in human movement and sport through biomechanical
and physiological research, testing, and training, which will help
minimize injury risk during sport and functional activities. A
secondary mission of the K-Lab is to enhance human performance in sport
and human movement.
RESPONSIBILITIES and SKILLS: Candidate will participate in research
design, data collection, and data analysis (see web site above for
previous and current research projects). Candidate will work with the
Duke Sports Medicine Director and the K-Lab Director in developing
research projects.
Highly desirable skills include advanced computer programming, advanced
computer optimization and simulation, mathematical muscle modeling
(especially, but not limited to, the knee and shoulder), experience
working with inverse dynamics solutions, experience working with Motion
Analysis Hi RES System, KinTrac, OrthoTrac, and SIMM software,
experience in fine wire and surface EMG, and experience in working with
force platforms.
QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum qualifications include an M.S., but preferably a
Ph.D., in Biomedical Engineering, Biomechanics, or related fields, and
have a strong interest in working in Sports Medicine in order to better
understand the injury mechanism in sport and human movement.
FACILITIES: We have a state of the art human performance laboratory
(approximately 75 ft in length by 35 ft in width) housed within our new
Duke Sports Medicine Complex. Our research staff includes individuals
who specialize in biomechanics, mechanical engineering, exercise
physiology, orthopaedics, sports medicine, and epidemiology. Primary
equipment includes a 6-camera (240 Hz) EVa Hi-RES Motion Analysis
System, a 2 camera (120 Hz) Peak Performance System, 2 AMTI Force
Platforms, a Noraxon 16 channel telemetry EMG system and 8 channel hard
wire EMG system (surface and fine wire), a Vista Mini-CPX VO2
Measurement System (Vacu-Med) with treadmill and two bicycle ergometers,
a Biodex System, and numerous computers and software.
Applications should e-mail the following:
A cover letter including professional goals and interests (include in
cover letter the following job code:
(K-Lab Research Specialist)
A curriculum vitae highlighting education, work experience, and
publications
Names and current contact information of three professional references
