The Applied Biomechanics Laboratory (abl.bme.unc.edu) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a Research Scientist position to help lead an interdisciplinary and cross-institutional effort to advance the use of High-Speed Biplane Fluoroscopy in studying the musculoskeletal biomechanics of functional human movement. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute a strong technical skillset in biplane fluoroscopy to a collaborative team spanning Biomedical Engineering, Exercise Science, and Orthopaedics. There will also be opportunities for the successful candidate to generate novel lines of research in support of their own training and professional development. Responsibilities will include: establishing standard operating procedures and training resources, adopting and refining analytical and data visualization tools, overseeing laboratory radiation safety compliance, developing and conducting experimental protocols, and disseminating scientific discoveries via published abstracts and papers.
The successful candidate will have completed their Ph.D. in an area related to engineering, biomedical imaging, orthopaedics, or biomechanics and will have strong technical and hands-on experience incorporating biplane fluoroscopy/videoradiography in human subjects research. Outstanding applicants with an M.S. and with 3+ years of relevant experience will also be considered. The position is funded for an initial period of 2 years. However, we are deeply committed to the training and professional development of our research scientists, and will collaborate with the successful candidate on proposals and fellowship applications with the anticipation of annual renewals beyond the initial project period.
Our laboratory is uniquely positioned in the UNC/NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (bme.unc.edu), which integrates the exceptional strengths of the UNC Chapel Hill College of Arts & Sciences and School of Medicine and the NC State University College of Engineering. Together, this facilitates meaningful and productive collaborations between scientists, engineers, and clinicians and offers tremendous opportunities for professional development. The Applied Biomechanics Laboratory offers state-of-the-art and dedicated facilities to support the applicants’ research.
