A postdoctoral position in musculoskeletal imaging with a focus on multiscale biomechanics is available in the Soft Tissue Bioengineering Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The research focus for the position is on the measurement of in vivo strain in musculoskeletal soft tissues following joint damage and repair. A candidate with a background in tissue mechanics and MRI is preferred. The candidate will be expected to develop a strong understanding of experimental imaging techniques and pulse sequence design, and will work with a highly interdisciplinary team of basic scientists, and human and veterinary clinicians. The position is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health.
The CU Boulder MRI Facility is equipped with a whole-body 3T MRI scanner for imaging of the brain, spine, and knee.
The University of Colorado is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates of underrepresented populations are encouraged to apply. CU Boulder is located along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, conveniently near Denver. Boulder is consistently ranked as one of the best cities in the country in terms of quality of life.
Applications for this position should include a CV, brief statement of research interests and background, and the contact information for 2-3 references, and should be emailed as an attachment to:
