Applicants must have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or bioengineering, and will act as the primary specialist for a research project developing constitutive properties for tissue undergoing large deformations, and using them in finite models to investigate tissue response to in vivo applied loads. The post-doctoral investigator will determine the experimental design on the primary project, and will coordinate modeling aspects of several other projects. An ability to coordinate multiple on-going projects in a busy, rapidly changing environment is required. Excellent facilities and opportunities to interact with faculty from engineering and medical sciences engaged in a broad spectrum of biomechanical applications. Appointment is for 1 year, with a second year contingent on performance.
Position is available immediately, with flexible start date.
