The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow to begin summer/fall 2015 within the Human Performance Lab at the Penn Musculoskeletal Center (http://penn-medicine-orthopaedics.blogspot.com/2014/06/Penn-MSK-Center.html). The fellow will work with Dr. Lou Soslowsky (Dept Vice Chair for Research, Dr. Greg Myer (affiliated with the team), and the Orthopaedic Physician staff using the most advanced Biomechanical and Human Performance analytic techniques applied to several key projects in the department. Project areas will involve the investigation of injury mechanism biomechanics and assessment of interventions associated with injury reducing mechanics associated with sports related injury and/or joint replacements. Complimentary projects will include functional outcome assessment following Orthopaedic procedures using cutting edge Motion Analysis techniques.
Preferred experience includes working in biomechanics laboratory; working knowledge and desire to reliably collect, process and analyze biomechanical and neuromuscular data; ability to quality control and calibrate motion analysis systems; experience with data reduction and processing with Matlab and Visual3D software packages; ability to assist and direct laboratory personnel in technical procedures; and ability to collaborate on development grant proposals for funding. Other desired abilities are to design and perform experiments and record data according to research protocol, independently reproduce and evaluate research and improve techniques currently used and adapt new methods to existing procedures. Also, the ability to assist in clinical analyses, to aid in grant development and to perform general computer troubleshooting and to regularly meet deadlines are highly desired.
A letter briefly outlining interest, a statement of research experience, curriculum vitae, and names and contact information of three references should be sent electronically as a single PDF to: Fabian.marechal@uphs.upenn.edu. Applications will be accepted until position is filled.
The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
