The laboratory of Dr. Robin Queen in Biomedical Engineering , The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, seeks a Post Doctoral Scholar. Dr. Queen’s laboratory is seeking a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral scholar to join a dynamic, multi-center, interdisciplinary team focused on developing a prognostic model of second Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury risk. The study team includes researchers and clinicians as part of the ACL-CARE consortium, who are dedicated to improving access to high-quality care for individuals who have sustained an ACL injury, with the ultimate goal of reducing the risk of subsequent injury following return to unrestricted physical activity.
The postdoctoral scholar will gain experience in clinic-based biomechanical testing and analysis, as well as in the longitudinal tracking of adolescent patients following ACL reconstruction. Responsibilities will include mentoring graduate and undergraduate students within the laboratory; collaborating with researchers on laboratory- and clinic-based biomechanics assessments; and engaging with faculty within the James Crane Sports Medicine Institute at The Ohio State University, members of the study team at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Virginia Tech, and collaborators at High Point University.
This position will involve coordination of a multi-center study encompassing clinical and biomechanical assessments and the review of medical records. The successful candidate will contribute to grant proposal preparation, including the development and submission of a K99/R00 application, and will be expected to disseminate research findings through multiple publication in peer-reviewed journals annually and presentation at national and international conferences.
The ideal candidate must demonstrate the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative research environment and possess experience mentoring junior researchers. A willingness to engage directly with adolescent clinical patients and collaborating physicians is also required. The desire and ability to help manage and maintain laboratory equipment, manage IRB tasks, order supplies and equipment and perform additional duties as assigned.
Qualifications
Required:
- Doctoral degree in biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering, kinesiology, athletic training, physical therapy, or a related field.
- Doctoral degree awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment with a minimum of one year eligibility remaining.
- Experience in biomechanics data collection methods including the following methods: motion capture, electromyography, in-shoe load measurements, in-shoe force measurements, and force plates.
- Publication record in peer-reviewed journals and giving presentations at national scientific conferences.
Desired:
- Degree in either physical therapy or athletic training.
- Demonstrated expertise in programing (MATLAB or python)
- Working knowledge of statistical analysis (R studio working knowledge is preferred).
- Clinical assessment of sports injuries and previous work in adolescent populations.
Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check. A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process.
