The Computational Biomechanics Lab at the University of Denver is seeking
several highly motivated students to pursue doctoral degrees in mechanical or biomedical
engineering. The fully-funded assistantships cover tuition, health insurance, and a
competitive stipend. Review of applicants will continue until the positions
are filled, with potential start dates of June 1 or Sept 1, 2012.
Desired qualifications include:
* MS degree in mechanical engineering
* Knowledge of finite element analysis and proficiency with commercial FE
codes. Experience with custom code development and/or custom scripting of
commercial FE packages preferred.
* Knowledge of knee, spine, or hip biomechanics
* Prior research-based journal publications
* Proficiency with programming languages
* Proficiency with probabilistic methods, and/or nonlinear optimization techniques would be considered advantageous
* Excellent oral/written communication and interpersonal skills required
The computational biomechanics lab contains state-of-the-art computational
hardware and software tools. Current research interests are in the
development, verification, and application of probabilistic finite element
models to asses natural and implanted joint mechanics.
To apply, please email a curriculum vitae and brief statement of research interests and
experience to Paul Rullkoetter, PhD (prullkoe@du.edu).
