The Laboratory of Cartilage and Meniscus Mechanics at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), New York, is seeking a post-doctoral fellow to study the effect of soft tissue injury and repair on knee joint mechanics using a dynamic cadaveric knee joint simulator.
The laboratory's overarching focus is on quantifying the mechanical factors that drive the development of osteoarthritis. Using this knowledge, we work to develop novel solutions for the treatment of cartilage and meniscal defects. We collaborate closely with the Sports Medicine Service, the Department of Biomechanics, the Department of Radiology and a team of biologists at HSS to focus on the mechano-biological function of candidate solutions. Applicants will have the opportunity to work with us on these exciting development-driven projects and as such can collaborate with a multi-disciplinary research team. Further opportunities for scientific interaction exist through affiliations with Weill Cornell Medical College and the Dept of Biomedical Engineering of Cornell University.
Interested candidates should have recently obtained a Ph.D. in mechanical or biomechanical engineering and must express a willingness to learn outside of their original training. Candidates should have strong written and verbal communication skills. Under-represented minorities are encouraged to apply.
Curriculum Vitae and the names, telephone numbers and email addresses of three references should be emailed to: Suzanne A. Maher Ph.D. mahers@hss.edu
