Are you excited about muscle mechanics? Do you love collaborating across fields? Do you want to develop new modeling capabilities? This opportunity could be for you!
This postdoctoral researcher position is an exciting opportunity to meaningfully contribute to ongoing efforts in advanced multiscale muscle modeling within the NSF-funded, BII: Integrative Movement Sciences Institute (IMSI). This position is expected to develop fundamental and detailed musculoskeletal models and movement simulations of muscle contraction to evaluate accuracy of model outputs and variation in musculoskeletal capacity. Model and simulation development will be accompanied by comprehensive validation of muscle behavior at the whole-body, tissue, and fiber scales. As a key researcher within IMSI, you will have the opportunity to support and build collaborations across multiple institutions and fields. Primary supervisors will be Dr. Anne Silverman and Dr. Katie Knaus in Mechanical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines (Golden, CO, USA), with collaborating laboratories led by Dr. Kiisa Nishikawa at Northern Arizona University and Dr. Monica Daley at the University of California Irvine. You will receive mentorship from individuals across domains and career stages, with the professional growth opportunity to develop new projects incorporating junior trainees in biomechanics.
Applications open until 08/31/2026 with a projected start date in Fall 2026. The application includes a CV, cover letter, and names of three professional references.
