modelling of impacts and helmet testing. The
project is funded through the ARC Linkage scheme
with the following industry partners: NSW RTA,
TAC Victoria, ATSB, NRMA, ACT-NRMA Road Safety
Trust and DVE International. The appointee’s
duties will include biomechanics research on the
topic of pedal and motor cycle helmet performance
as per ARC LP 0669480; support for the research
of the chief investigators and linkage partners;
development and execution of research plans and
experimental protocols in collaboration with
investigators; collection and analysis of
appropriate research data in the field of
biomechanics; contribution to project management
under the supervision of the project director;
contribution to scholarship within the School,
including support for APAI students, teaching and
learning; and, preparation and/or assistance in
the preparation of research reports and publications.
