The Soft Materials Mechanics Laboratory and the Glaucoma Center of Excellence invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the area of experimental biomechanics to characterize the mechanical behavior of eye tissues, particularly the sclera and optic nerve head, in mouse models of glaucoma. The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in a funded project aimed at understanding how the structure and mechanical behavior of the sclera and may influence the development and progression of glaucoma. An initial appointment will be for a 12-month period with future renewal contingent on performance. Salary will be based on the level of experience. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
Qualifications:
The candidate is required to have a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, or a related field. The successful candidate must have experience in developing and conducting mechanical experiments on soft tissues. Experience with digital image correlation or digital volume correlation is desirable. All candidates should have excellent verbal and written communication skills, a strong publication record, and the ability and motivation to work independently. Researchers are expected to collaborate with internal investigators, and participate in the preparation of manuscripts, grants, and presentations.
To apply, please submit a complete curriculum vitae, representative publications, and the names and addresses of two references.
