Post-doctoral Associate in brain biomechanics is available at Dartmouth
College, Hanover, NH
A post-doctoral associate position jointly funded by the NIH and NOCSAE is
available at the Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College. This
position will support research in biomechanics of the human brain in vivo
and the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury in the context of sports-
related concussion, using stereovision, image-analysis, and finite element
modeling. Applicants are expected to have an earned Ph.D. degree in
mechanical engineering or biomedical engineering, or a closely related field
. Experience with MATLAB, image analysis, and finite element modeling (e.g.,
Abaqus) is essential. This position will involve working with a team of
biomechanical researchers and clinicians to analyze stereoscopic images of
exposed brain surfaces from patients undergoing open-skull neurosurgery, as
well as to simulate brain responses under external impact to study the
mechanisms of sports-related concussion. The post-doc associate will also be
expected to participate in preparing research articles, presenting research
findings at conference meetings, and contributing to grants. Therefore,
excellent writing and communication skills are important.
Dartmouth College is an Ivy League institution. Our lab works closely with
researchers in the Advanced Imaging Center and Advanced Surgical Center,
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, as well as with other faculty in the
engineering school and school of medicine.
Interested applicants please send a cover letter, CV, and a list of 3
professional references to S********[email protected]. This position will
remain open until filled.
Qualifications:
A Ph.D. in mechanical engineering or biomedical engineering, or a closely
related field, with experience with MATLAB, image-analysis, and finite
element modeling.
