Job Description

Summary

This postdoctoral Research Associate centers on real-time obstetrics simulation featuring skinned musculoskeletal simulation and glove-based haptics interaction, under co-supervision by PI Prof. Michel Audette and CoPI Prof. Oleksandr Kravchenko of Old Dominion University. The goal will be to synthesize motion of a skinned musculoskeletal model of a neonate and couple this motion to interactive simulation of bone and soft-tissue kinematics via open-source tools such as OpenSim and Simulation Open Framework Architecture. An OpenSim Model is a codified description of a musculoskeletal system and its dynamics, based on a graph of interconnected components. Haptics will be integrated incrementally in OpenSim based on a 6-degree-of-freedom stylus first, based work already begun.

We are looking to hire a postdoctoral fellow for approximately 10-month based on availability of funding for a salary of $42,400, as well as fringe benefits. This Post Doc should have a background in biomechanics or mechanical engineering, preferably with an understanding of real-time software implementation and/or haptics.

Job Responsibilities:

- Develop haptics software support for stylus and glove-based interaction
- Couple a finite elements-driven musculoskeletal (MS) birthing simulation with soft tissue model. The finite elements model exists and has been coupled to OpenSim MS simulation.
- Other duties as assigned 

Education and/or training:

PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering with Biomechanics specialization

Level and type ofexperience

Entry-level PhD. Strong programming skills.

Specific knowledge, skills, and abilities: C++ and/or Python

Other: Knowledge of haptics
