PhD Graduate Assistantship in Computational Biomechanics
PhD Graduate Assistantship in Computational Biomechanics: Clemson-MUSC Bioengineering Program, Charleston, SC, USA
The Clemson-MUSC Bioengineering Program is an educational and research partnership between Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The Clemson-MUSC Bioengineering Program’s mission is to bridge engineering and physical sciences with life science disciplines, to better understand biological and disease processes. The program consists of five primary faculty from Clemson University, who are permanently located and conduct their research full-time on the MUSC campus in Charleston, SC, and twenty-six basic science and clinical faculty from MUSC who hold faculty appointments in the program. Bioengineering research and education collaborations have been established in ten departments and colleges at MUSC in areas involving cancer, heart disease, neuroscience, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, dental and craniofacial applications, ophthalmology, surgery, and pharmacology.
We have openings for fully funded Ph.D. positions (Research Assistantships) through the Medical University of South Carolina Department of Orthopaedics. These positions are available to start January 2017. The positions will be primarily responsible for developing musculoskeletal models including the shoulder, spine and temporomandibular joint. Successful candidates will have a background in Biomedical or Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in finite element modeling. Prior research experience with human subjects, biomechanical analysis, ABAQUS/ANSYS, and MATLAB programming are highly desirable.
Required Qualifications:
- B.S. in engineering (mechanical, biomedical, electrical)
- Desire to conduct experimental biomechanical studies
- Desire to develop finite element and multi-body musculoskeletal models
- High level of self-motivation
- Strong critical and analytical thinking skills
Preferred Qualifications:
- Proficient programming in MATLAB
- Proficient with FE software (ANSYS, ABAQUS)
- Experience with in vitro biomechanical testing, including optical motion capture
- Experience in experiment design and statistical analysis
- M.S. in mechanical or biomedical engineering
- Peer reviewed conference or journal publications
- Strong technical writing, presentation and communication skills
If you are interested and would like additional information, please email Dr. Matthew Coombs (coombsm@musc.edu) with a (i) statement of interest explaining your research interests and skills, (ii) detailed CV, and (iii) GRE and TOEFL scores if applicable.
