Ph.D. Research Assistantship
Boise State University
Biomedical Engineering Ph.D.
Description:
The Northwest Tissue Mechanics lab is seeking a Ph.D. student to conduct biomechanics research related to soft tissue healing (NIH funded grant). The PhD student will use experimental, theoretical and computational approaches to: (1) determine the effect of complex deformations on soft tissue repair, and (2) develop and validate a computational model that predicts healing in soft tissue. This project will provide a student with training in biomechanics, mechanobiology, mechatronics, finite element modeling, and tissue engineering. Knowledge gained from this project can assist the design of therapeutic strategies that accelerate and strengthen healing in soft connective tissues (e.g. ligament, tendon, meniscus).
This is a fully funded PhD research assistantship in the Biomedical Engineering (BME) PhD Program, with a research emphasis in experimental and computational biomechanics. This position includes a stipend, full tuition waiver and health insurance.

Student Profile:
- B.S. or M.S. degree in either Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechatronics, Material Science, or a related engineering field.
- Strong interest in mechatronics is appreciated.
To Apply:
Interested students will need to apply to the Biomedical Engineering PhD program at Boise State by the fall application deadline of Jan. 15th. Interested students are also encouraged to contact Dr. Trevor Lujan to share their interest and to send a resume (email: trevorlujan@boisestate.edu).

About Boise:
Boise State University is the largest university in Idaho, with enrollment of more than 22,000 students. The University is located in Idaho’s capital city and largest metropolitan area, which serves as the government, business, high-tech, economic, and cultural center of the state. Boise has a vibrant downtown, and great outdoor recreation including skiing, rafting, camping, fishing, and biking. Forbes ranked Boise #2 in 2018 for best cities to raise a family, U.S. News & World Report ranked Boise in the top 10 for best places to live in 2016, and USA Today ranked Meridian (Boise suburb) as the #1 city to live in America in 2015.
