Post-Doctoral Position at School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China
A Post-Doctoral position is available at School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China with possible extension up to 3 years. The responsibility of this position includes quantitatively investigation of the in-vivo musculoskeletal biomechanics in patients with implant, processing of CT/MRI/Ultrasound images of patients to construct 3D anatomic models of the joints and examining the optimal surgical implantation of implants.
The potential candidate should possess a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering / Mechanical Engineering or an M.D.-Ph.D. with graduate research experience on musculoskeletal joint biomechanics. Background in the hip/knee joint biomechanics is desirable, but not essential. The candidate should have experience in conducting human joint kinematics and kinetics evaluation using imaging technique and motion analysis technique, and the capability to coordinate between research engineers, students, surgeons, physical therapist, clinicians as well as patients. The position may also include managing and coordinating activities for specific research protocol(s). The Post-Doctoral Research Fellow may help prepare IRB applications and also develop, prepare, and maintain study material, individual participant files, and standard operating procedures for research projects.

Laboratory Director, Dr. Tsung-Yuan Tsai’s Biography
Tsung-Yuan Tsai is a faculty member of the School of Biomedical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China. He also currently serves as Principle Scientist in the Medical 3D Printing Center at Shanghai Ninth People‘s Hospital. He received a B.S. from National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan and his Ph.D. from Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan. During 2011 to 2016 he was a research fellow at the Bioengineering Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA.
His research interests span Imaging Biomechanics, Orthopaedic Engineering, Sports Science, Motion Analysis, and Computational Biomechanics. During his Ph.D. study, he successfully developed a novel tracking technique using 3D CT data and single-plane fluoroscopic images to register in-vivo 3D motion of the knee. His recent works mainly focus on clinical issues in Orthopaedics using the-state-of-art imaging techniques.
Dr. Tsai has published more than 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and 124 professional conference papers. He is a co-author of 2 book chapters, including The Hip Kinematics in “Adult Hip”, and Applications Using MATLAB in “Introduction to Finite Element Analysis”. He is Active Member of Orthopaedic Research Society of the US. He is the reviewer of 11 Science Citation Index journals.
