Post-doctoral Fellowship
Running Injury Laboratory
University of Delaware
Newark, Delaware

We are seeking a highly motivated and energetic individual for a post-doctoral fellowship to join our research team and work in the area of stress fractures. Current research is supported by NIH and DOD grants. Projects involve an innovative approach to intervention using real time feedback to alter faulty gait patterns, as well as a modeling study to estimate tibial strains and strain rates. Other ongoing projects include studies of knee OA and patellofemoral pain syndrome. The patellofemoral pain syndrome research involves imaging studies including MRIs during weightbearing (in collaboration with individuals at Kessler Rehabilitation and physicists from FONAR Corporation). In addition, we are engaged in a collaborative study of dual fluoroscopy with the University of Pittsburgh Dept. of Orthopedics. Along with coordinating the stress fracture research, the post-doctoral fellow will gain experience in grant writing, scientific presentations, manuscript writing and mentoring.

The Biomechanics and Movement Science Program is an interdisciplinary community with many ongoing collaborations. Newark, Delaware is a university community that is 1 hour from Philadelphia and Baltimore, 1.5 hrs from the beach and the mountains, and 2 hours from New York City and Washington, DC.

The ideal candidate will have research experience in the area of lower extremity mechanics, and modeling and/or imaging. Excellent verbal and wriiten communication are required. Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV and two letters of recommendation by email to:
