PhD position on lower limb prosthetics at University of Southampton, U.K.

We look for a suitable PhD candidate to work in the area of lower limb prosthetics at the University of Southampton, starting September/October 2016. Quality of prosthetic socket fit is of highest important for lower limb amputees because the residual limb is subject to intensive and prolonged mechanical load during walking and daily activities. An ill-fitted socket could not only affect the usage and overall outcome of the prosthesis but also affect tissue health of the stump. This could be particularly prominent for amputees who often suffer fromcomorbidities including diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and peripheral neuropathy etc. Thus, their stump health is often vulnerable.This multidisciplinary project aims to address various challenges faced at the critical interface between residuum limb and prosthetic socket.Suitable candidates should have background/ knowledge/interest in one of the following areas including solid mechanics, mechatronics, control, computational design and modelling, programming, or embedded systems, sensors, biomechanics etc. No previous experience in lower limb prosthetics (or other biomedical areas) is required albeit interest in this area is desirable. You will generally need a 2:1 or first-class degree or equivalent in a related discipline to be eligible to apply. To express interest and/or for further information, please provide your CV and contact Prof. Liudi Jiang (L.Jiang@soton.ac.uk).

Postdoctoral Positions in Mechanical Engineering / Otolaryngology

Ph.D. level, staff scientist and/or postdoctoral positions in otolaryngology/mechanical engineering with foci on development of several types of surgical tools and biophysical studies are available in an interdisciplinary team of a NIH-funded project headed by Professor Anil Lalwani, MD, and Professor Jeffrey Kysar, PhD, at Columbia University, in New York, New York, USA. The successful applicants will join a dynamic, interdisciplinary group of researchers including otolaryngologists, mechanical engineers, clinicians, and neuroscientists. The goal of the project is to develop surgical tools and procedures that will allow the introduction of therapeutics into the cochlea (inner ear) through the round window membrane that separates the middle ear from the cochlea. We seek to fill two positions. One successful applicant will focus on engineering related issues and one other successful applicant will focus on the biological/medical related issues.
The engineering researcher will have responsibilities that include: (1) Determine experimentally and model computationally the mechanical and failure properties of the round window membrane in animal models as well as in human cadaveric tissue; (2) Perform and interpret micro-CT scans of the temporal bone including the cochlea; (3) Develop a detailed Finite Element Method (FEM) model of the deformation and perforation of the round window membrane via microscale needles; (4) Determine experimentally and model computationally the fluid flow and/or diffusion of various chemical and molecular species across both an intact and a perforated round window membrane. The successful candidate will extensively perform nanoindentation, tensile testing, bulge testing, computer-aided design, 3D printing, FEM modeling, optical and scanning electron microscopy, among many other methods.
The biological/medical researcher will have responsibilities that include: evaluate the safety of application of tools developed on hearing and the inner earusing in vitro and in vivo animal models as well as cadaveric human temporal bones; techniques used to assess safety will require survival animal surgery and include histology (light & electron microscopy), electrophysiology (e.g. ABR, OAE), and immunological methods. He/she will be collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team and will work with otolaryngologists, hearing scientists, and medical students to bring the academic studies to clinical trials.
To apply for the engineering researcher position, please send your cover letter, CV as well as names and contact information for three references to Professor Jeffrey Kysar, PhD, at jk2079@columbia.edu.
To apply for the biological/medical researcher position, please send your cover letter, CV as well as names and contact information for three references to Professor Anil Lalwani, MD, at akl2144@cumc.columbia.edu.
