Flinders University, Adelaide
Medical Device Research Institute (MDRI)
Research Associate
Salary in the range: $66,200 to $80,626 pa full-time
Fixed-term appointment available for up to 3 years
The MDRI is seeking to appoint a Research Associate (Level A) to work on the ARC Linkage Grant entitled: ‘Virtual testing of orthopaedic devices as part of the design and development process: Strategies to account for patient and surgical variability’. The research associate will be responsible for developing computational modelling strategies (integrating musculoskeletal models with finite element simulations) that incorporate variability in order to assess new designs of total hip replacement early in the design cycle. They will work closely with the partner institutions at the University of Melbourne and Auckland University, as well as the industrial partner, DePuy Synthes.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary research team at the Medical Device Research Institute who share a common interest in bone biomechanics, implants, human motion, and imaging within the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics. The research associate will join a rapidly growing team of computational based researchers working on orthopaedic biomechanics problems. The School of Computer Science, Engineering & Mathematics is a dynamic and growing School, which has embarked on an ambitious growth of its engineering awards and will be moving to a new $120M building in January 2015.

SELECTION CRITERIA
Essential criteria
1. A PhD in orthopaedic biomechanics or in a relevant area or an equivalent qualification.
2. Significant experience in the development and application of finite element methods in orthopaedic biomechanics or a related area.
3. Experience of design of experiments, stochastic modelling techniques, probabilistic analyses or related techniques.
4. Ability to contribute at a national level in research in orthopaedic biomechanics.
5. Evidence of establishing a track record of high quality research publications.
6. Ability to develop and maintain productive relationships with external academic and industrial partners.
7. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
