Postdoctoral Position in Biomechanics, Boston University

A postdoctoral research position is available in Dr.Katherine Yanhag Zhang’s lab in the Mechanical Engineering Department at BostonUniversity. We are looking for a self-motivated researcher to work on projectson multi-scale modeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanics in vascularremodeling. The selected candidate will work on developing a predictivemechanobiology model of ECM mechanics to provide a clinical relevantrelationship between biomechanical integrity, biochemical compositionstability, and microstructure of the ECM. The selected candidate will also havemany opportunities to collaborate with the researchers in the group for acomplete model development and validation.

Applicants must have in-depth knowledge of nonlinear solidmechanics and finite element methods. PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering or relevant fieldsis required. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Katherine YanhangZhang at yanhang@bu.edu. Applicationswill be reviewed immediately and will continue until a suitable candidate ishired. Please include in the email: a cover letter, CV, names and contactinformation of three references, and one or two publications showing thecandidate’s previous research experience.
