The Biomechanical Engineering Research Lab (BERL) at Western University is looking for candidates for graduate (masters or PhD), post-doc and technician positions related to lower extremity biomechanics. We perform experimental joint biomechanical analysis using a state-of-the-art 6 degrees-of-freedom joint motion simulator (AMTI VIVO), computational studies using finite element modelling (ABAQUS and FEBio) and musculoskeletal analyses using OpenSim. We are affiliated with the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, the School of Biomedical Engineering, Western's Bone and Joint Institute, the Lawson Health Research Institute, London Health Sciences Centre and the Fowler-Kennedy Sports Medicine Clinic.
Open positions relate to studies focused on:
- computational analysis of the effects of knee joint aligment on biomechanics
- effects of knee soft tissue injury and repair on kinematics and stability
- simulator development
- bone-implant mechanics
Interested candidates should send me an email (rwilling@uwo.ca) with their CV, unofficial transcript, a brief self-introduction explaining their research interests, and of course their desired role (masters, phd, post-doc, technician). All candidates will be considered, but not all will receive responses.
BERL is committed to education/employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from women, members of racialized groups, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, persons of any sexual orientation, and persons of any gender identity or gender expression. Western is committed to ensuring that each individual will have genuine, open and unhindered access to educational and employment opportunities.
