30 Sep '22

We are pleased to share two job openings related to OpenSim, biomechanics, and developing and disseminating software and other resources: *Scientific Project Manager at Stanford for Digital Athlete Research and Alliance Partnerships * The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Stanford <http://humanperformance.stanford.edu> is seeking to recruit a highly motivated Scientific Project Manager to conduct research on human performance using machine learning and biomechanical modeling approaches. The candidate will also serve as Project Manager for the Alliance partnerships program. An additional, vital role will be building and supporting a community that is using and contributing to our open-source software and data sharing efforts. This position requires a PhD in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills and analytical capabilities. Learn more and apply <https://careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/scientific-project-manager-for-digit…> *NIH-Funded Postdoctoral Position at the Rice Computational Neuromechanics Lab* The Rice Computational Neuromechanics Lab directed by B.J. Fregly is seeking to hire a creative and highly-motivated post-doctoral research associate. The ideal candidate will hold a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering with a research focus on neuromusculoskeletal modeling, simulation, and optimization. The candidate will (1) contribute to the development, evaluation, and testing of easy-to-use computational software for performing model personalization and treatment optimization utilizing neuromusculoskeletal computer models created in OpenSim and Matlab, (2) use the software to develop personalized neuromusculoskeletal computer models of individuals post-stroke and design optimal personalized neurorehabilitation interventions, and (3) assist with the organization of an annual “Stroke Grand Challenge Competition” to be held at the American Society of Biomechanics annual conference. Interested individuals are encouraged to e-mail a resume and a brief statement explaining their interest to B.J. Fregly at fregly(a)rice.edu.
