The orthopedic bioengineering research center (OBRC) at Newton-Wellesley Hospital focuses on cutting-edge clinical and basic science research in orthopedic biomechanics to improve patient care (https://www.nwh.org/orthopedics/orth...esearch-center). Recent studies of the OBRC can be found on Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/citations...FdcAAAAJ&hl=en).
The OBRC is currently looking for highly motivated research fellows and biomechanical engineers with a strong background in orthopaedic biomechanics, both experimental and computational. Multiple positions are available for spine and knee clinical biomechanics researches, respectively. These positions will be involved in collaborative projects with commercial medical device providers.
Responsibilities:
1) Conducting and coordinating patient knee joint and spine kinematics measurements using imaging techniques;
2) Computational simulation of human articular joint motion;
3) Development of artificial joints;
4) Presentation in international conferences and publication in top-tier journals.
Required Skills:
1) Experimental biomechanics involving in vivo motion tracking (preferred) or cadaveric tests;
2) Finite element analysis using Abaqus / ANSYS / FEBio;
3) CAD or other design software (Rhinoceros / Solidworks / PTC Creo);
4) Medical image processing (Mimics / 3D Slicer);
5) Programming (MATLAB / Python);
6) Excellent communication ability (with patients and clinicians).
Degrees:
BS, MS, PhD in bioengineering / mechanical engineering or other relevant majors are welcome.
Application:
Please email (using “Fellow/Engineer Position Application - Your Name” as the email subject) an one-page cover letter, a recent resume/CV, and contact information of three references to:
Guoan Li, Ph.D.
