>The Biomechanical Engineering Division of Stanford University seeks
>to hire a talented biomechanical engineer to perform experiments and

>pain. This position is based within the laboratories of the
>Biomechanical Engineering Division at Stanford University
>(http://www.stanford.edu/group/biomech/) and the Rehabilitation R&D
>Center of the VA Palo Alto Health Care System
>(http://guide.stanford.edu/). Our facilities are equipped with

>analysis equipment, biology laboratories, and a wide array of
>research facilities.
>
>The successful applicant should have a Ph.D. in mechanical
>engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, or related
>discipline. Applicants must have a thorough knowledge of computer
>modeling of musculoskeletal dynamics. Expertise in medical imaging,
>finite element modeling, and orthopaedic biomechanics is also very
>helpful. Applicants must have excellent written and verbal
>communication skills.
>
>The goal of our research is to provide a scientific basis for the
>treatment of PF pain. Our underlying hypothesis is that the presence
>of PF pain is correlated with elevated PF cartilage stresses, caused
>either by increased PF forces or decreased PF contact area. We will
>test this hypothesis by examining volunteers with and without PF
>pain using MR imaging, motion analysis, dynamic musculoskeletal
>computer simulations and finite element modeling of PF contact. We
>are looking for an outstanding individual to join our team.

>This work will be performed in collaboration with Gary Beaupre,
>Ph.D.(Finite Element Modeling), Scott Delp, Ph.D. (Musculoskeletal
>Dynamics), Garry Gold, M.D. (Imaging), Michael Fredericson, M.D.,
>and Chris Powers, Ph.D. The post-doctoral biomechanical engineer
