Postdoc position in human dynamic and musculoskeletal modelling

Duration: 12 months (renewable) from September 1, 2008
Salary range: 1870 to 2140€ monthly, full benefits (incl. 45 days off
per year)
Place: Lyon, France

LBMC (Laboratory of Biomechanics and Impact Mechanics, Joint research
Unit of INRETS - University Lyon 1, Lyon, France) has a strong research
program in digital human modelling for ergonomic design of products. It
aims to collect human functional data (e.g. joint maximum range of
motion, joint strength), task related motion data as well as to develop
human biomechanical models for motion simulation and discomfort
assessment. A postdoc position is now open at the LBMC for several
industrial and collaborative European projects. We are searching for
motivated and outstanding individuals in the area of human dynamic and
musculoskeletal modelling. The ideal candidate should have independent
research skills and experiences in both physics-based modelling and
experimentation with human subjects. To apply, please send a motivation
letter, curriculum vitae, copies of one or two representative
publications and two letters of recommendation via email to
xuguang.wang@inrets.fr. A good level of both English and French is required.
