Job Description:
The Technology Implementation Research Center (TIRC) in the Dept. of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital, is looking to hire a postdoctoral research fellow for computational modeling of human joint and implant biomechanics. The TIRC offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of translational research, and to work with a close knit team of highly experienced scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The goal of the project is to develop patient-specific computational models to study biomechanics of native human joints, such as the knee/hip/shoulder, before and after joint replacement surgery. These models will serve as a valuable platform to better guide surgical decisions, and implant design. The post-doctoral fellow will be responsible for conducting musculoskeletal simulations (inverse/forward dynamics), finite element analysis, writing IRB protocols, designing and executing in vivo and in vitro (cadaver) studies, and preparing project reports/scientific manuscripts. The postdoctoral fellow may also assist in preparations of grants, and training of other research staff. A creative mindset, strong team oriented work ethic, and willingness to develop new skills are a must. Interested applicants should email a copy of their CV to Dr. Kartik Varadarajan (kmangudivaradarajan@partners.org).
Requirements:
· PhD in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering
· Excellent knowledge of musculoskeletal modeling (inverse dynamics / forward dynamics simulations) and proficiency in one or more related tools such as AnyBody, LifeModeler etc.
· Excellent knowledge of finite element analysis techniques and high level of proficiency in one or more related tools such as ABAQUS/ANSYS/ COMSOL
· Experienced in designing and conducting in vivo and in vitro (cadaver) experiments
· Strong computer aided design skills and proficiency in one or more associated tools such as SolidWorks /ProEngineer/ CATIA
· Strong hands on design / prototyping experience
· Strong written and oral communication skills
