The Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory, Mayo Foundation,
Rochester, Minnesota has an opening for a full-time material testing
engineer. This position is supported by grant funding and involves all
aspects of the research services provided by the lab, including project
planning, equipment design, data collection and analysis, grant writing,
and manuscript preparation.
The Biomechanics Laboratory is comprised of integrated
units made up of clinicians, research scientists, and allied staff. Mayo
Foundation is a private, not-for-profit, group practice of medicine
providing comprehensive clinical, research and education programs. The
material testing area is a core facility within the Mayo Foundation,
meaning that the position involves interaction with a variety of
departments, including Orthopedics, Orthodontics, Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation, Cardiovascular Diseases, Obstetrics, Neurology,
Otorhinolaryngology, and Health Sciences Research.
The laboratory's workload is diverse, including
motion/strength analysis, computer image analysis, materials testing,
electromagnetic/kinematic testing, anatomical specimen
preparation/testing, instrumentation design and machining. The lab
co-directors are both Ph.D. mechanical engineers. Nine orthopedic
surgeons work part-time in the lab. The lab staff also includes 17
allied health staff with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, computer
programming, physical therapy, kinesiology, computer-aided design,
instrumentation, and machining. In addition, the lab has approximately
twelve post-doctoral and research fellows with backgrounds in orthopedic
surgery, engineering, or physical medicine.
Qualifications
The position requires training in mechanical or
biomedical engineering. Candidates should have a master's degree, or a
bachelor's degree with significant research experience. The position
requires advanced experience with material testing equipment
(Instron/MTS) and procedures, and knowledge of structural mechanics,
orthopedics/anatomy, and instrumentation. Experience with Matlab,
LabView, Excel, C, Fortran, and UNIX shell scripts is necessary. The
ideal candidate would have experience with finite element analysis
(particularly with ABAQUS and Patran software), design, statistics,
control theory, and electromagnetic testing equipment.
This position requires good human relations, as well as
excellent verbal and written communication skills. The candidate must
be willing and able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, serve as a
mentor and project coordinator, make formal presentations, and write
manuscripts. Candidates must be comfortable working as part of a
multidisciplinary research team of physicians, engineers, computer
scientists and allied health professionals. Specifically, the person
filling this position will do the following:
1) Assist research fellows and physicians with
design of experiments.
2) Design or modify testing fixtures and
instrumentation.
3) Perform and/or supervise material testing
procedures and related data collection in a biomedical in vitro
environment.
4) Utilize proper analysis techniques and
contribute significantly to interpretation of results.
Mayo offers an excellent benefits package, including
extensive healthcare coverage and over 4 weeks paid time off during your
first year. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.
The position will be filled as soon as a qualified applicant is
identified. If interested, please send a cover letter, resume, and a
list of 3 professional and 2 personal references to:
