Post-Doctoral Fellow

Position in Computational Biomechanics of Knee Replacements

Full-Time

 Overview:

The Biomechanics Department of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is seeking candidates for a three-year postdoctoral position in Computational Biomechanics of Knee Replacements. The selected candidate will be involved in research and development projects in joint reconstruction. Responsibilities will include building musculoskeletal and finite element models of virtually implanted total knee replacements to assess the effect of implant design and alignment on joint kinematics and loads, ligament balance, and the interaction between implant and bone. Mentoring and training will be provided by the HSS Biomechanics staff in collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons from the Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement service and staff of the Radiology and Imaging Department. The goal of the fellowship is to provide the trainee with a broad, multidisciplinary experience. For applicants who are citizens of the United States or green card holders, possibilities exist for NIH support through a T32 Combined Engineering and Orthopaedics Training Program at HSS and TL1 Training and KL2 Scholar Awards offered by Weill Cornell Medical College’s Clinical and Translational Science Center.

• Candidates must have a strong mechanical engineering background including finite element modeling (Abaqus preferred), musculoskeletal modeling (OpenSim preferred), MATLAB, image processing, and must possess excellent written and oral communication and team science skills.
• Salary is competitive and will depend on the experience level of the candidate.
