will be part of a team conducting a large-scale NIH-funded research project
aimed at improving our understanding of the clinical and biomechanical
factors that lead to vertebral fractures in the elderly.
Job Requirements:
The candidate must possess a PhD degree in biomechanics, bioengineering,
mechanical engineering or other related field, or have a MS degree in these
same fields with at least 3 years research experience. The candidate must
have excellent computer proficiency. Experience with biomechanical models of
the spine is desirable, as is familiarity with Matlab, C++, and Linux.
