  • 3-year postdoc in animal locomotor mechanics at Structure &Motion Lab

    Hello,

    New postdoc at The Royal Veterinary College's Structure and Motion Lab,
    Department of Veterinary Basic Sciences:

    Applications are invited for a 36 month position for an enthusiastic
    biologist/biomechanist to work on a BBSRC-funded Engineering & Biological
    Systems grant to study the links between animal locomotion, body size and
    skeletal form in terrestrial mammals and birds. The chief role of the
    researcher is to use experimentally-measured kinetics and kinematics
    (inverse dynamics) to quantify locomotor mechanics in a variety of exotic
    species. The grant is a collaborative effort with Dr. Sandra Shefelbine and
    Anthony Bull (Imperial College, London) as well as other animal biomechanics
    researchers worldwide. Imperial's new postdoctoral research (advertised
    yesterday here on Biomech-L) will work closely with this RVC-based one.

    Expertise in all techniques is not essential but some relevant experience is
    desirable; expertise in live animal/human locomotor biomechanics research is
    essential. The post is based in the world class Structure and Motion
    Laboratory at our Hawkshead Campus near Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.

    Starting salary will be £25,762 per annum plus £2,323 London Allowance per
    annum = £28,085, plus pension.
