Post-doctoral Fellowship Position at the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The Human Movement Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Ottawa is looking for candidates for a post-doctoral Fellowship position.
The fellow will be involved in several research grants and contracts on Hip, knee and shoulder preservation and replacement in collaboration with the division of Orthopaedics surgery of The Ottawa Hospital.
Human Movement Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Ottawa has for mission to improve the quality of life and mobility of Canadians of all ages through a better understanding of the function of the musculoskeletal system and joints.
The main goals are to:
The HMBL are involved in several research grants and contracts on Hip, knee and shoulder preservation and replacement in collaboration with the division of Orthopaedics surgery of The Ottawa Hospital.
Qualifications:
Doctorate degree in Kinesiology or biomedical engineering and/or related degrees.
The candidate demonstrated understanding of operational requirements for a successful research project and managing resources.
The candidate has a proven record of working with team members and under- graduate students to help build their research skill and knowledge and to support and guide their professional development.
The candidate has demonstrated skills in data collection with children up to elderly participant, clinical trials administration, data analysis on various types of motion by using motion capture (Vicon) and electromyography (Delsys) and also be familiar with musculoskeletal modeling (OpenSim) applied to the spine, hip and knee joint.

Human Movement Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Ottawa has for mission to improve the quality of life and mobility of Canadians of all ages through a better understanding of the function of the musculoskeletal system and joints.
The main goals are to:
- Advance the understanding of joint biomechanics to optimize joint function and musculoskeletal tissues around the joints.
- Develop and validate rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from joint reconstruction/replacement and optimize return to normal activities.
- Provide training for highly-qualified personnel in basic and clinical research.
- Develop new innovative therapeutic and tissue engineering approaches to prolong implant longevity and offer a treatment option for patients suffering from bone loss.
