2 Positions immediately available in Mechanobiology at the
Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin
________________
In accordance with the recently granted Collaborative Research Center
"Biomechanics and Biology of Musculoskeletal Regeneration", the Center
for Musculoskeletal Surgery has two immediate openings in the
Mechanobiology Group. The collaborative center brings together leading
researchers from renowned biomechanics, genetics, material science and
mathematics centers to tackle the issues of musculoskeletal regeneration
with a truly multi-disciplinary approach. Further information can be
obtained by following the links to "Musculoskeletal Regeneration" at
http://www.charite.de/cmsc.
Position 1: Biomechanical Chracterisation of Bone Healing
Small animal models are increasingly being used to investigate the
process of bone healing. Mechanics plays an important role in healing
but characterising the mechanical conditions in vivo in such models is
challenging. This project serves to develop novel experimental methods
to characterise and monitor in vivo the mechanical conditions during
healing.
The successful candidate should possess a degree in a biomechanics
related field with a keen interest in experimental biomechanics. In
addition to strong problem solving skills and good oral/written
communication skills, experience with motion capture systems and a
proficiency with matrix algebra is desirable.
Position 2: Mechanobiology of Bone Healing and Regeneration
An understanding of the influence of mechanics on the healing process is
crucial for guided tissue regeneration strategies. In this project,
computational methods are applied to further our understanding of the
mechanisms regulating tissue regeneration during normal and delayed
healing.
The successful candidate should possess a degree in a biomechanics
related field and have a keen interest in computational biomechanics.
In addition to strong problem solving skills and good oral/written
communication skills, experience with the finite element method and a
proficiency in programming is desirable.
It will be possible for the successful candidates to pursue PhDs during
their employment hours, if permitted by their qualifications.
Salary grade BAT IIa (full position; final salary commensurate with
qualifications, family status and age).
Spoken Languages: English, German
