Ph.D. Research Assistantship
Boise State University
Department of Material Science and Engineering
Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering
Description:
The Northwest Tissue Mechanics lab is seeking a graduate Ph.D. student to conduct biomechanics research related to human meniscus tears. This research project is funded by the NSF and includes a collaboration with Idaho National Labs. The PhD student will use experimental, theoretical and computational approaches to: (1) measure fracture behavior of human meniscus during static and fatigue loading, (2) simulate meniscal tears using 3D finite element models, and (3) measure and simulate meniscus failures in healthy and aged cadaver knees. The PhD student will be trained to complete these aims and will work with a team of graduate and undergraduate research assistants.
This is a fully funded PhD research assistantship in the Materials Science and Engineering program, with a research emphasis in experimental and computational biomechanics. The expected stipend for Fall 2016 is $25,000 and includes a Full Tuition Waiver.

PhD Requirements: http://coen.boisestate.edu/mse/degre...s/phd-program/
Student Profile:
- B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or a related engineering field.
- Strong interest in computational modeling is appreciated.
To Apply:
If interested, please email a one-page cover letter, resume, and academic transcripts to Dr. Trevor Lujan at trevorlujan@boisestate.edu. The application deadline is April 21st (or until position is filled).
About Boise:
Boise State University is the largest university in Idaho, with enrollment of more than 22,000 students. The University is located in Idaho’s capital city and largest metropolitan area, which serves as the government, business, high-tech, economic, and cultural center of the state. Time Magazine ranked Boise #1 in 2014 for ‘getting it right’ with a thriving economy, a booming cultural scene, quality health care, and a growing university. Livability.com also ranked Boise #1 in 2014 thanks to an abundant quality of life, a family-friendly culture, a vibrant downtown, and great outdoor recreation including skiing, rafting, camping, fishing, and biking.
