    Graduate Assistantship in Orthopedic Biomechanics

    Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Kansas Medical Center

    The Department of Orthopedic Surgery is seeking a well-qualified and
    dedicated graduate student to pursue research within our laboratories at
    the University of Kansas Medical Center. The Department will partially
    support a graduate student pursuing an MS or PhD in Bioengineering as
    part of the Mechanical Engineering or Bioengineering programs at the
    University of Kansas. The Orthopedic Research Laboratories, part of the
    Department of Orthopedic Surgery, are endowed to provide research
    support to faculty, residents and students by the Marc A. and Elinor J.
    Orthopedic Research Endowment, and the Mary Alice and Paul R. Harrington
    Research Endowment.

    Areas of research include biomechanics and correction of spinal
    deformity, tissue engineering, tissue ingrowth and adhesion to novel
    implant materials, ankle replacement biomechanics, development and
    evaluation of new surgical techniques and instrumentation, computational
    modeling of ligaments.

    The research facilities comprise over 4000 ft2 of lab and office space
    including testing facilities, full machine shop, dissection/specimen
    preparation rooms, histology lab, cell culture laboratory. Access to
    and collaboration with orthopedic surgeons is an advantage of working
    directly in an orthopedic laboratory.

    The selected student should begin coursework by Summer or Fall 2007.
    Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To ensure
    maximal consideration for additional scholarship funding through the
    University, applications should be submitted without delay.
    Supplemental funding may be available for early applications and will
    depend on student qualifications.

    Please contact Dr. McIff by email if interested and provide a CV or
    brief background description including academic qualifications and
    interests.
