The following position is currently available in the workgroup “Musculoskeletal Biomechanics” within the Julius Wolff Institute (JWI) under the direction of Prof. Dr. Georg Duda:
Experienced Post-Doc within the research project (ID: OVERLOAD03) “Biomechanical analysis of knee loads”
Background
We aim to identify mechanical loading conditions in joints, particularly within the knee. We, at the Julius-Wolff-Institute of the Charité, have a long-standing history of in vivo telemetric force measurements in patients as well as musculoskeletal loading of the lower limb. We plan to combine this knowledge with neuromuscular control analyses. Our goal is to understand how activities influence musculoskeletal limb loading at the knee and how training interventions could alter these loads. For this purpose, patients and athletes with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture will be assessed.
Tasks:
Establishing mechanical analyses of knee stability and how it is affected by a targeted training intervention. Use this knowledge to develop an understanding of musculoskeletal loading of the knee and its influence on neuromuscular control patterns. Conclude from clinical observations of gait and musculoskeletal function the relevance of joint stability and musculoskeletal loading in OA and how it may be influenced by training interventions.
Your profile:
- PhD with profound knowledge in mechanics, biomechanics, biomedical engineering, physics or
other biomechanics related disciplines
- scientific skills and working experience in the field of biomechanics
- either experience in EMG related research or in vivo imaging in humans, or musculoskeletal
modeling experience would be welcome
- programming skills (MATLAB / C++ / python) would be appreciated
- high motivation and strong interest in research
Salary will be according to the TV-Charité structure (E13 scale) with 39 hours/week. The position is offered for a duration of 24 months, with an option for extension.
The Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin hires based on the suitability, competence and professional performance of applicants. We actively promote equality of all employees. We therefore welcome applications from women and men, regardless of their cultural and social background, age, religion, belief, disability or sexual orientation. Applicants with a disability are given preferred consideration if equally qualified.
Please send your complete application within 14 days, with reference to the ID above to the following address:
Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin,
Julius Wolff Institute, Sekretariat, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany
You can also submit your application via email: georg.duda@charite.de
The application material will be returned only if a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. Unfortunately, travel costs for an interview cannot be covered.
