One Year Post-Doc Position in Computational Biomechanics (to fill as soon as possible, "New England," Storrs, CT)
Mathematical modeling and simulation of biomechanical systems from the cellular to the tissue level; implementation of algorithms and material models into finite element codes such as FEAP. Strong background in solid mechanics and experience with numerical methods necessary.
The Ideal Candidate
Motivated, self-sufficient and creative; strong background in mathematics and mechanics; excellent experience/knowledge of soft biological tissues, particularly cartilage mechanics; prepared to work in a team and to cooperate with medical doctors from both the UConn Health Center and the New England Musculoskeletal Institute; willingness to travel nationally and internationally for research experience; fluency in English; prepared to supervise Masters-level students and project employees at the Interdisciplinary Mechanics Laboratory.
Candidates for these positions should submit the following as a single PDF file to Professor Pierce via e-mail (submissions are requested by August 1, 2014):
NB. It is also possible for potential candidates to arrange interview meetings with during the 7th World Congress of Biomechanics (7th WCB) in Boston, MA, July 6 - 11, 2014 (for more information see, wcb2014.com).
