Do you have a strong technical background in computational biomechanics with an intertest in skull biomechanics? Would you like to work as part of a multi-disciplinary research team to address challenges in modelling a complex anatomical system?
We are looking for a proactive individual to join the University of Leeds to investigate the functional performance in bird skulls through using computational modelling to simulate skull biomechanics and kinesis.
The role is part of an BBSRC project, and you will join a multi-disciplinary team with members from the University of Leeds (Dr Pete Watson) and University of Hull (Dr Jen Bright Dr Phil Morris).
The computational modelling required to accurately simulate kinesis in the bird skulls is extremely challenging. Therefore, this role will use a range of computational techniques to: (1) determine how the bird skull generates and transmits force via rigid body motion and strain, using computational biomechanics; (2) validate the computational models to establish best practices for modelling bird feeding; and (3) use this knowledge to understand how variation in the skull morphology has evolved to accommodate feeding forces.
If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
