Post-Doc Research Associate
About The Position
The Applied Biomechanics Laboratory (abl.bme.unc.edu) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a postdoctoral position to help lead a highly collaborative line of research designed to establish a paradigm shift in our biomechanical understanding and clinical management of age-related mobility impairment toward feasible and cost-effective devices to modify foot and ankle structure and function. To accomplish this, the applicant will have access to an integrative combination of experimental and computational techniques, from quantitative motion analysis and in vivo ultrasound imaging to musculoskeletal modeling and bioenergetic simulation. The position is funded for an initial period of 1 year. However, we are deeply committed to the training and professional development of our post-docs, and intend for annual renewals beyond the initial appointment. 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.
Requirements
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Nice To Haves
- Research experience
- a history of project leadership
- strong technical skills in the neuromechanics of foot and ankle joint function, including quantitative motion analysis, ultrasound imaging and analysis, and musculoskeletal modeling
