Full Job Description
Do you have a background crossing the disciplines of computational mechanics and biomedical engineering? Do you have an interest in developing computational models to investigate the lubrication of natural joints? Do you want to contribute modelling outcomes for publication in biotribology?
This is a short-term position to develop and study the underlying ultra-low friction mechanisms of natural joints. The coupling between poroelastic cartilage material properties and the lubricating film formed between contacting surfaces facilitates this phenomenon. This is important in understanding joint health and the adverse effects of degenerative musculoskeletal conditions.
The role will use your skills in computational mechanics and biotribology to develop a model capable of predicting the friction in natural joints under representative physiological conditions. You will require a background in computational mechanics and biomedical engineering and to demonstrate innovative approaches to problem solving. You will need to have good experience in validating computational models against experimental evidence to evaluate model performance.
This post will see you working with partners who are expert in biotribology at the University of Leeds, together with industrial and clinical practitioners. You will use your skills in interdisciplinary research to communicate your findings to researchers with a range of backgrounds.
We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements., o 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That's 42 days a year!
o Generous pension scheme plus life assurance - the University contributes 14.5% of salary.
o Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
o Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
o Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.
And much more!
