The Developmental Biomechanics group is seeking to add a valuable new member to our research group. We are looking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on an in vitro mechanostimulation bioreactor to quantify the relationship between applied mechanical forces and growth and morphogenesis of the prenatal joint. The project offers an exciting opportunity to apply in vitro culture and 3D imaging techniques to a biomechanical research question that is clinically relevant. The Research Assistant/Associate will be part of the exciting and world-renowned Department of Bioengineering at Imperial, based in the centre of the vibrant city of London.
The ideal candidate will start as soon as possible and make the most of this excellent opportunity. We especially value applicants from diverse backgrounds who can add new skills and expertise to our group. The group investigates the importance of mechanical forces for prenatal skeletal development using both experimental and computational techniques- more information on the group is available at http://nowlan.openwetware.org/. You must have a PhD (or equivalent) in Biomechanics for appointment at Research Associate level.
You will have extensive, demonstrable experience with designing or adapting, and working with, a mechanical stimulation bioreactor for the purposes of in vitro culture. You will be proficient with sectioning, histological and immunohistological techniques and have an in-depth understanding of mechanoregulation and mechanotransduction. You will have main author publications in high-impact peer-reviewed journals in the Biomechanics or Biomedical Engineering fields, and a successful track record of presenting research as main author at international conferences. Experience with small animal models, 3D imaging and 3D image analysis are desired.
