The LESION (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM BIOMECHANICS) Laboratory at the University of Mississippi's Department of Biomedical Engineering is seeking graduate students (PhD, MSc).

The LESION Lab aims to develop imaging and modeling tools for the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of central nervous system disorders, with a particular focus on diseases related to the eye and brain, such as glaucoma and traumatic brain injury.

The Grytz Lab seeks a Post-doctoral fellow for imaging-informed computational modeling of the eye. This position is funded from a recently awarded NIH/NEI R01 grant. The candidate will participate in developing personalized finite element models that combine patient-specific morphology and biomechanical property inputs from in vivo imaging using optical coherence tomography to advance personalized medicine in the eye. 

Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics, University of Pittsburgh.

An NIH-supported PhD position is available in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Instituite (WPI). Our lab focuses on the health of the central nervous system, with projects on traumatic brain injury and surgical image guidance of spinal surgical procedures. The student will have freedome to focus either on computational biomechanics, experimetnal biomechanics, or medical imaging, or a combination of these elements. Our lab works closely with other engineers and clinicians. Students with a minimum of GPA of 3.5 are encouraged to apply.

Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics, University of Pittsburgh.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to join our team to work on Digital image correlation and Virtual fields modeling. Candidates must have experience in these techniques. Experience analyzing images from optical coherence tomography or microscopy will be an advantage. Experience in ophthalmology or vision science is not required. A solid publication record and evidence of strong writing and presentation skills is required.

The Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position on multi-scale biomechanics of soft tissues. The project goal is to understand aging and vision. To apply, send TWO representative publications and CV to Ian Sigal, PhD (ian@ocularbiomechanics.com). More details about the Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at www.OcularBiomechanics.org. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, so early submission is encouraged.

A one-year postdoctoral position is available at the Laboratory of Mechanics & Acoustics, CNRS & Aix-Marseille University, France.

The project focuses on image-based identification problems for physical quantities of interest in solid mechanics within the framework of optical measurement methods for complex manufactured materials. The guideline objective is to develop an identification framework for multiscale, heterogeneous and anisotropic media.

Application deadline: February 28th, 2015.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the area of large-scale inversion and imaging using acoustic waves and high-performance computing.

At the interface between the fields of solid mechanics, acoustics and numerical modeling, the present job offer focuses on inverse problems with the aim of extending applications of the spectral-element method and petascale high-performance computing to (1) ocean acoustics and for (2) non-destructive material testing.  

Post-doctoral Associate in brain biomechanics is available at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH
