We investigate the structure and function in healthy as well as injured or diseased states using optical and electromagnetic tracking, finite element analysis, imaging, experimental testing, and muscle modelling. With this research we hope to gain a fundamental understanding of the influence of mechanical loads in health, disease and extreme performance on the musculoskeletal system.

Positions Available

Research Associate

We seek a highly motivated individual in possession of an MSc/PhD in Mechanical Engineering/Design Engineering/Bioengineering (or similar), who has prior experience in mechanical design and testing. Experience in medical devices design and development would be desirable, but not essential. The successful candidate will work within a collaborative team on the development of prosthetic and extremity reconstruction technologies for low and middle income countries, particularly those affected by conflict. Our main collaborators for this work are based in Cambodia, Rwanda, Sri Lanka and Lebanon.

Closing date: 24 November 2022
