Job Summary
The Biosciences Group at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) conducts biomechanics research to improve vehicle occupant comfort and safety. A primary focus of the research is computational modeling to optimize protection of occupants during crash events. Simulations are conducted using finite-element models of crash test dummies and human models representing realistic human anatomy. The person hired to fill this position will work with a team of scientists and engineers to develop and apply advanced computational models to improve occupant restraint system design.
*This is a one-year term-limited position, with renewal and/or extension possible based upon receipt of concomitant sponsor funding and satisfactory job performance.*
Responsibilities*
The responsibilities of the position include assisting faculty on research projects focusing on computational modeling, supporting student technical training, writing technical reports, conference papers, and journal articles, and presenting at conferences and technical meetings. Research projects will include computational modeling of humans and human surrogates, particularly finite-element modeling using the LS-DYNA solver. Other tasks include supporting student technical training, writing technical reports, conference papers, and journal articles, and presenting at conferences and technical meetings. The work will involve programming and scripting with languages such as Python, Matlab, Mathematica, and/or C++.
Required Qualifications*
-BS in Engineering or other field closely related to injury biomechanics; MS will be preferred.
-Demonstrated ability in finite-element model use and development, particularly with the LS-Dyna solver. Demonstrated experience with FE human body models for injury analysis or experience in using MADYMO will be a plus.
-Statistical experience for parametric analysis, response surface generation, and optimization.
-Proficiency in scientific programming languages (Python, Matlab, Mathematica, and/or C++)
-Excellent oral and written communication skills
-Ability to work well as a member of a team
