POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE IN EXPERIMENTAL JOINT TISSUE BIOMECHANICS
Research title: Mechanical vulnerability of the cartilage-bone tissues
in the pre-osteoarthritic joint
A one-year postdoctoral position is available in the area of
cartilage-bone biomechanics and osteoarthritis research. The research
is aimed at investigating microstructural and ultrastructural changes
associated with early degeneration of the joint tissues and
understanding how these changes influence their mechanical vulnerability.
The project is experimentally based and the successful appointee will be
required to carry out detailed microstructural analysis and conduct
micromechanical manipulations. Applicants should possess a high level
of interpretive ability in the structural/micromechanical area.
The research will be conducted in the Biomaterials Research Laboratory
which is part of the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering,
University of Auckland, under the direction of Professor Neil Broom and
Dr Ashvin Thambyah.
Salary: L1 on the lecturer scale(NZ$67,315 p.a.)
There is a need to fill this position as quickly as possible. Suitable
applicants should email their CV (including contact details of potential
referees) promptly to:-
