Post-Doctoral Fellow / Research Faculty Positions in the Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics: Computational Biomechanics and In Vivo Biomechanics with Dynamic Stereo Radiography
Openings are available for industry and federally funded Post-Doctoral Fellowships at the University of Denver in computational and in vivo biomechanics. Qualified candidates may also be considered for Research Faculty appointment within the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. The successful candidate will be expected to lead and conduct advanced research projects, and interface on these projects with industry and federal sponsors, graduate students, and other faculty. Excellent post-doctoral salary available, including benefits. Starting date negotiable, fall 2018 preferred.
COMPUTATIONAL BIOMECHANICS: Current research interests include probabilistic, dynamic finite element modeling of the natural and implanted knee and hip, and multi-scale musculoskeletal modeling of the complete lower extremity.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
+ PhD degree in mechanical engineering or biomedical engineering.
+ Knowledge of finite element analysis and proficiency with commercial FEA codes. Must possess demonstrated skill with advanced applications of FEA. Experience with custom code development and/or custom scripting of commercial FEA packages preferred.
+ Proficiency with programming languages (C, C++, Python, Matlab).
+ Proficiency with multi-body dynamics simulation, nonlinear constrained optimization techniques, and/or probabilistic FE methods, would be considered advantageous.
+ Excellent oral/written communication skills and interpersonal skills required.
IN VIVO BIOMECHANICS: Current research interests include precision measurement and musculoskeletal modeling of natural and implanted knee, hip, and shoulder kinematics and kinetics, including musculoskeletal modeling and simulation.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
+ PhD degree in mechanical engineering or biomedical engineering.
+ Experience with human subject measurement using dynamic radiography and image post-processing.
+ Knowledge of musculoskeletal modeling using OpenSim or similar methods and tools.
+ Knowledge of programming languages (C++, Python, Matlab).
+ Excellent oral/written communication skills and interpersonal skills required.
The Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics has recently moved into a new building, with world-class laboratory facilities, including a gait lab with stereo radiography, experimental biomechanics lab with 6DOF joint simulator and mechanical test frames, implant retrieval lab, and computational biomechanics lab. The University of Denver (www.du.edu) was founded in 1864 and is the oldest private university in the Rocky Mountain region. The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering offers graduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering. In addition to educational opportunities,
DU’s location in Denver offers a wide range of cultural and outdoor activities. The University of Denver is an AA/EOE (Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer).
To apply, please send a copy of your CV, and cover letter outlining fit within the position and Center.
Review of applications will continue until the positions are filled.
