The Institute of Biomechanics, TUHH Hamburg University of Technology
is offering a temporary (3 years) position for an Early Stage
Researcher starting latest November 1st 2010.
The position is part of the SpineFX Marie Curie Initial Training
Networks (ITN) giving early-stage researchers the opportunity to
improve their research skills by joining established research teams in
order to enhance their career prospects.
EU - Early Stage Researcher (ESR)
Salary grade according to EU ITN regulation, ID-No.: S-10-28.4
TUHH tries to increase the percentage of women at the institution.
Therefore, women are especially encouraged to submit their
application. The salary depends on the candidate’s personal situation.
The overall employee related funding of the EU, including special
payments will range from approximately 42.000 € to 48.000 €. This
funding will cover the gross salary and the employers’ share (~20%).
Job description:
This is a training-through-research position as part of an
international University-Industry-Network. The participant will work
on personalised projects within the frame of the research topics
defined by the network. This job offer is dedicated to:
Interface of Fixation Devices
Treatment of spinal trauma with conventional implants places high
demands on the interface between the implant and bone. Screw loosening
or pullout and intervertebral device subsidence or migration can
result if there is a breakdown of the implant-bone interface. A
further challenge which precludes the use of these implants in the
elderly arises, when the bone is weakened due to osteoporosis or
metastases. In this project the goal is to improve the interface of
fixation devices, through novel implant design, enhanced materials and
the use of new hybrid fixation systems. Improvement of fixation
interfaces may also be accomplished through cement reinforcement.
Within this project a team of two early stage researchers (clinician
and engineer, university) and a experienced researcher (industry)
centre on the generation of a new range of implants to provide optimal
hold in the cancellous core of the vertebra or the posterior pedicles.
A survey concerning interface failure and a comprehensive program of
design and experimental verification of different concepts for
interface enhancement will be the basis for the project. Numerical
Simulation of the performed experiments on multi-level spine FEMs is
required to gain additional insight into the project results and
improve the development. The most promising prototypes will undergo an
in vitro preclinical testing on cadaveric specimens including
characterisation of surfaces and performance.
An important aspect of this position is the collaboration with the
members of the project team and the network partners in different
countries. The candidate will be expected to have at least one
secondment to one of the partners. The partners mostly involved in
this project are Ulrich medical (Ulm, Germany), BoneSupport (Lund,
Sweden) and the Legal Medicine Department of the University Hospital
Eppendorf (Hamburg, Germany).
Bi-annual training events will be delivered by SpineFX partner
organisations in the different countries and are mandatory to be
attended. Each ESR will have a Personal Career Development Plan,
designed with the supervisor at the beginning of the fellowship,
covering training needs (including complementary skills) and
scientific objectives. The successful applicant will have the
opportunity to enrol into a PhD program.
Qualification:
A higher-than-average Masters degree in engineering or physical
sciences is expected. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
are essential. The candidate has to demonstrate work flexibility and
has to show readiness to travel to collaborating partners. The network
language will be English. Therefore a good knowledge of English
language is mandatory and basic knowledge of German language is
preferable.
Self-motivation and curiosity is essential to be part of an
interdisciplinary team of surgeons, engineers and other scientist.
Disabled person with same qualification will be favoured.
In addition certain eligibility criteria apply in a Marie Curie ITN program:
a) Early-stage researchers are defined as those in the first four
years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers, starting at
the date of obtaining the degree which would formally entitle them to
embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was
obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided,
irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.
b) Candidates have not resided or carried out their main activity in
Germany for more than twelve months in the three years immediately
prior to their recruitment.
c) Candidates should not be a national of Germany (there are two
exceptions: researchers with more than one nationality can be
recruited if they have not resided in Germany during the previous five
years; researchers who have legally resided and have had their
principal activity (work, studies, etc) in a third country for at
least three out of the last four years).
Informal enquires to:
