    Post-doctoral Fellowship
    Running Injury Laboratory
    University of Delaware
    Newark, Delaware

    We are seeking a highly motivated and energetic individual for a
    post-doctoral fellowship to join our research team and work in the area of
    stress fractures. Current research is supported by NIH and DOD grants.
    Projects involve an innovative approach to intervention using real time
    feedback to alter faulty gait patterns, as well as a modeling study to
    estimate tibial strains and strain rates. Other ongoing projects include
    studies of knee OA and patellofemoral pain syndrome. The patellofemoral
    pain syndrome research involves imaging studies including MRIs during
    weightbearing (in collaboration with individuals at Kessler Rehabilitation
    and physicists from FONAR Corporation). In addition, we are engaged in a
    collaborative study of dual fluoroscopy with the University of Pittsburgh
    Dept. of Orthopedics. Along with coordinating the stress fracture
    research, the post-doctoral fellow will gain experience in grant writing,
    scientific presentations, manuscript writing and mentoring.

    The Biomechanics and Movement Science Program is an interdisciplinary
    community with many ongoing collaborations. Newark, Delaware is a
    university community that is 1 hour from Philadelphia and Baltimore, 1.5 hrs
    from the beach and the mountains, and 2 hours from New York City and
    Washington, DC.

    The ideal candidate will have research experience in the area of lower
    extremity mechanics, and modeling and/or imaging. Excellent verbal and
    written communication skills are required. Interested candidates should
    send a cover letter, CV and two letters of recommendation by email to:
