The University of Virginia, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Center for Applied Biomechanics is seeking a highly motivated scholar to join our dynamic research team. The successful candidate will have a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related degree) or a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical engineering with 7-years of experience in a research and development setting. The candidate will be involved in a number of different projects that generally focus on injury biomechanics in automotive and sports environments.
Applicants should be proficient in the design of test fixtures, with a strong understanding of machine design and machining techniques, and should possess experience in the operation and functionality of data acquisition systems. Preferred skills include hands-on experience in a laboratory environment, and working knowledge of high-speed digital camera systems, 3-D motion tracking systems and laser scanning systems. Preferred applicants will also have a demonstrated background in project management, including deadline and budget adherence, supervision of personnel, and the ability and desire to work within the existing management and support structure of the group.
Proficiency in scientific programming languages (Matlab, Fortran, etc.) is required. Candidates should also have a proficiency in device design using CAD software (e.g., Solidworks), including the production of detailed design drawings for fabrication. Preferred applicants will also have experience in solid mechanics (including finite element analysis), analytical dynamics, and will have a working knowledge of human anatomy and biology. Excellent oral and written communication skills, critical thinking, and the ability to work well as a member of a team and to lead teams on project tasks are essential.
Responsibilities will include managing project tasks related to injury biomechanics experimental and computational research. The candidate will have an active role in the design and execution of the experiments involving cadaveric materials. Duties will include direct involvement in project planning and execution, data collection, data analysis, academic publishing in peer-reviewed conferences and journals, and collaboration with academic, industrial, and government research partners.
This is a one-year term appointment with the opportunity for renewal based on availability of funding and satisfactory performance.
Review of applications will begin February 8, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled. Please include a CV/Resume, Cover Letter and Contact Information for 3 References - name, email, and phone number. For further information and to apply to this posting, please refer to https://jobs.virginia.edu and reference Posting Number 0613567.
The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to developing diversity in faculty and welcomes applications from women, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities.
