    I would appreciate if you could share the following job posting with the
    Biomech-L community.

    Joint Replacement Research Associate

    The Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) is seeking an individual to
    assist with all phases of its on-going research related to hip and knee joint
    replacements. The successful candidate will work closely with experienced
    orthopaedic surgeons to design and implement research studies. Job
    responsibilities will include developing research protocols, obtaining
    Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, collecting and managing data,
    performing statistical analyses and writing manuscripts. Current research
    topics include measurement of implant wear using clinical x-rays and retrieved
    components, three-dimensional analysis of clinical computed tomography (CT)
    images to characterize periprosthetic bone loss (osteolysis), and evaluation of
    outcomes associated with different types of bearing surfaces and bone graft
    materials. Candidates must have a bachelor's or graduate degree in engineering
    or a science-related field. Computer proficiency is essential. Prior
    experience with three-dimensional image analysis software or radiostereometric
    (RSA) techniques is desirable. However, AORI regards itself as a training
    institute and can provide on-the-job training for capable individuals who are
    ambitious and self-motivated. This position is full-time with benefits. Salary
    will be based on qualifications and experience. This position may be ideal for
    someone who is seeking clinical experience or considering a career related to
    orthopaedics. Interested candidates should e-mail their CV and a cover letter
    to research@aori.org.

    Established in 1972, AORI (www.aori.org) is a non-profit foundation renown for
    its clinically-oriented research related to hip and knee replacements. AORI
    conducts both prospective and retrospective studies to better understand the
    factors that influence outcome after joint replacement. The Institute maintains
    a clinical database of over 15,000 joint replacement procedures in addition to a
    large collection of revision and post-mortem retrieved specimens. AORI's
    facilities are located 10 miles outside Washington, DC, in Alexandria, VA. We
    seek to share our research findings with the medical community through
    peer-reviewed publications and scientific meetings. Opportunities for
    co-authorship are available to AORI staff members for work stemming from their
    research.

    Sincerely,

    Robert Hopper
