More than 65 phd-students are enrolled in the doctoral school affiliated to the department.
Job description
Research areas will be within musculoskeletal modeling of the lower extremity, specifically the human ankle joint complex.
The Postdoc will join the Physical Activity and Human Performance Group within the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction at the Department of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg University. Currently the group consists of 2 Professors, 7 Associate Professors, 2 post-doctoral fellows. The group conducts research in six laboratories that comprise advanced facilities for human and clinical experiments as well as unique instrumentation and methodologies developed by the group.
Applicants will have successfully completed a PhD, and experience with movement analysis and modeling of the human musculoskeletal system (C-Motion, BodyBuilder, SIMM/Open SIM, AnyBody or similar). A background in mechanical engineering and knowledge on finite element modeling is advantageous. Applicants should have an established record of experience in conducting experiments with human subjects and dissemination of research results through peer-reviewed publications. The project is funded by Det Frie Forskningsråd and will be conducted in collaboration with the AnyBody Research Group/Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Aalborg University
