The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia seeks highly motivated scholars to join our dynamic research team as Research Scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics.
The successful candidate(s) will assume an active role in one or more of a variety of research projects related to traumatic brain injury in automotive, military, and sports applications that require state-of-the-art computational and experimental approaches. The successful candidate(s) will work both in teams and on their own on to develop, utilize, and evaluate advanced physical and computational models of human and animal brain injury prediction. Duties will include academic publishing in peer-reviewed conferences and journals, graduate student mentorship, and collaboration with academic, industrial, and federal research partners.
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Apply online at https://uva.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en...anics_R0018986 and attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the contact information for three individuals who can provide professional reference letters. Please note that multiple documents can be uploaded in the box labeled CV.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Review of applications will begin on November 6, 2020, but the position will remain open until filled. The University will perform background checks on all new hires prior to employment
This is a one-year appointment; however, the appointment may be renewed contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance.
