Post-doc positions @ Julius Wolff Institute, Charité in Berlin, Germany
PostDoc / Head of Biomechanics Lab
The Julius Wolff Institute focuses on applied and basic research in orthopedics and traumatology with special focus on regeneration of the musculoskeletal system after injury or degenerative diseases. Our aim is gain a better understanding of the loads and strains acting in a human body and how these loads influence tissue formation, adaptation and regeneration.
For our biomechanics lab we are searching a talented postdoc. The tasks of the head of biomechanics would be:
· the technological development of mechanical testing of (bio-)materials for applications in orthopedics and traumatology,
· the scientific development of biomechanical testing in an accredited test lab (DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025) and
· the development of new testing strategies, specifically for soft materials
Your profile:
Ideally, your profile would include a master or diploma in mechanics, mechanical engineering, material sciences
solid understanding of mechanical testing, incl. measurement software tools like Labview or Matlab
In addition, it would be highly appreciated if you would have:
a PhD in biomedical sciences
experience in quality insurance
communication skills in English
you are team oriented, enthusiastic and flexible
The initial appointment is for two years with the possibility to extend beyond. Salary will be according to Germany law „E13 des Haustarifvertrages Charité, based on TVöD". The institute supports the further education and development of the successful candidate by encouraging the attendance to workshops and symposia. This position reports directly to the Institute’s director and collaborates closely with the different theme leaders in the Institute to enable a stimulating environment to further develop and strengthen the biomechanic activities.
We emphasis a close and very tight interaction with our clinical departments in orthopedics, trauma and reconstructive surgery but are also in tight research interactions beyond with other clinical departments at the Charité, Max Planck Instituts and University institutions in basic sciences. This allows our research in the biomechanics lab to be highly relevant for translational research and for having a direct impact on patient care.
If we catched your attention, please send your CV, including paper list and two letters of recommendation to Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Julius Wolff Institute, Prof. Dr. Duda, Augustenburger Platz 1 in 13353 Berlin or to Susann Omuya susann.omuya@charite.de.
We would appreciate to fill the position soon and thus have set a deadline of submissions for the 15th of February 2016.
