Postdoctoral Position
at the Iowa Institute of Biomedical Imaging, University of Iowa
IN QUANTITATIVE STRUCTURAL AND BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF
TRABECULAR BONE IMAGING

The Iowa Institute of Biomedical Imaging is seeking a talented
postdoctoral fellow in the area of quantitative    structural and
biomechanical
analysis of trabecular to develop image-based methods to aid the early
detection of changes in bone quality due to either disease progression or
therapeutic treatment.

This trabecular bone imaging is a multi-disciplinary effort with the
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University and The
Berkeley Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory, UC Berkley. The goal is .
to combine the the rich knowledge and experience of mechanical and
and computational method for bone biomechanic of the above two
universities with our images-based quantitative bone structural
analysis methods.


The applicant must have 1) a Ph.D. in computing science, biophysics,
bioengineering or related field within the last four years; 2) Expertise
with C programming, MatLab, linear systems, and advanced knowledge in image
analysis techniques, 3) A demonstrated ability to conduct independent
research as documented by a publication record.

This position is fully funded by a grant from the National Cancer Institute.
