The Injury Biomechanics Lab at McMaster University has openings for all levels of research (Master’s, PhD and Post Doc).
Members will conduct research on the response of the human body to impact, with a focus on high rate (defense-related) loading and associated protective measures. This will include experimental testing of post-mortem tissues, development of injury thresholds, and design/testing of surrogates such as crash test dummies. Members develop strong technical skills in impact testing, fracture mechanics, medical imaging, instrumentation, and statistical analysis, as well as an emphasis on oral and written communication skills.
Ideal candidates will have background/interest in material testing and/or experimental biomechanics and enthusiasm for research and problem solving. Should be comfortable working with human tissues (or be open to it). Start dates can be flexible as required. Engineering backgrounds preferred.
Students can complete their degrees through either Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering and will work in an exciting interdisciplinary research facility. We welcome and encourage applications from those from diverse backgrounds and believe that our differences make us better. Must be able to work well in a collaborative and interdisciplinary team setting.
For more information about our work please see www.macinjurybiomech.com, and if interested please submit a CV and unofficial transcript to Dr. Cheryl Quenneville at quennev@mcmaster.ca. Short-listed candidates will be contacted.
