The University of Southampton, UK, has an exciting opportunity for a PostDoc/Research Fellow (min. of 3 years funding) in Population Level Biomechanical Risk Assessment of Injury Associated to Vibration Exposure.
The position is targeted at ambitious researchers with sound expertise and experience in quantifying biomechanical outcomes at the organ and tissue levels. The project aims to leverage and push the frontiers in the population level computational analyses to estimate risk of musculoskletal injury related to exposure of whole body vibration and shock.
Your role as Research Fellow working on WBV-ACUTE, which is part of the DASA initiative on understanding whole-body vibration (WBV), will be to develop computational biomechanical models to perform subject-specific and population level analyses of the risk of mechanical overload and injury under and after exposure to shock and whole body vibration (WBV). Linking biomechanical analyses with essential insights on exposure levels and epidemiology will enable you to develop an understanding of biomechanical mechanisms to explain how WBV might subsequently lead to injuries of the spino-pelvic complex including the lumbar and cervical spine.
Within the role you will be working with and can benefit from the expertise offered by Professor Markus Heller (Mechanical Engineering), Professor Neil Ferguson (Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, ISVR), and collaborators Professor Elaine Dennison (MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre) and Dr Ying Ye (ISVR).
