We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with computational expertise to join the OpenSim team at Stanford. Our review of applicants will start immediately. See the full announcement below. We encourage all qualified applicants to apply. Please also forward to any colleagues that you think would be a great fit. Best wishes, Jen ------------------- *OpenSim Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University* The OpenSim project at Stanford University, led by Scott Delp, is now accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow. OpenSim ( http://opensim.stanford.edu) is a freely available, user extensible software system that is used by researchers around the world to develop models of musculoskeletal structures and create dynamic simulations of movement. OpenSim is supported by the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (http://opensim.stanford.edu/about/index.html) and Simbios, the NIH National Center for Simulation of Biological Structures ( http://simbios.stanford.edu) We are searching for an outstanding individual to study musculoskeletal dynamics and develop new methods to simulate and analyze human movement. The candidate must have strong research skills, experience in development of computational methods, and excellent computer programming ability. Prior experience with OpenSim and a background in biomechanics, software engineering, controls, metabolics, and/or design of prosthetics are also desirable. Applicants should send a letter indicating their interest and experience, curriculum vitae, copies of two representative publications, and contact information for three references via electronic mail to opensim(a)stanford.edu. Applicants may also send links to software or simulations that they have developed. The review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. -- --------------------------------- Jennifer L.

10 Apr '12

We are excited to announce the launch of our new OpenSim support site: http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/index.html The new online support hub features: - An integrated, searchable online portal to all OpenSim support resources - An online, wiki-based version of the user's guide, developer's guide, and other support materials that is linked and easy to navigate - New materials, including a central examples/tutorial page, a modeling and simulation best practices guide, teaching materials, FAQs, and a guide for how to contribute to the OpenSim project We'd love your feedback on the new site. You can fill out the short survey below or send comments to me by email. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGdEQ1NNYUVUbnpvMmJMZW… We encourage you to start using the new support site for your OpenSim research and teaching activities! A couple additional details: - Note that in addition to the online support site, PDFs of our user guide<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/User%27s+Guide>, developer's guide<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Developer%27s+Gui…>, and tutorials<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Examples+and+Tuto…>are still be available to allow printing and offline access. Download links are located on each respective page. - You will be able to browse/view all of the materials without logging in to the wiki-based documentation site. If you'd like to post comments on the wiki-based documentation, you will need to create an account and log-in: http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/signup.action - If you want to help out by adding to and improving the wiki-based documentation, please contact me via email.
