Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert.
A post-doctoral research fellowship is available at the Institute for Biomechanics (Department of Health Sciences and Technology) under the guidance of Prof. Stephen Ferguson, in collaboration with the Schulthess Klinik represented by Prof. Philipp Moroder. The Institute for Biomechanics is a multidisciplinary research unit dedicated to the biomechanical investigation of the human body. We investigate the mechanics and material properties of the musculoskeletal system, as well as movement control, from a macroscopic (body/organ) scale to a microscopic (cell) scale. The Schulthess Klinik in Zurich is one of Europe’s leading orthopaedic clinics, treating patients with joint, spine, hand and foot conditions. The position is available from 01. March 2023.
The available position is funded by an independent foundation grant, with the overarching goal to establish a reference centre for shoulder biomechanics as a collaborative research group between ETH Zurich and the Schulthess Klinik. This research fellowship aims to connect the expertise of the partner institutions in clinical science, surgery, human movement analysis, experimental methods and computer simulation to better understand the mechanisms of shoulder injury and degeneration, to explore improved treatments of trauma and pathology and to establish objective measures of clinical outcome.
You will be responsible for conducting your own independent research, and for contributing to the establishment, supervision and growth of an independent research group, in the area of shoulder biomechanics. A focus is placed on the use of multi-body musculoskeletal simulation to create a virtual shoulder model allowing the analysis of shoulder loading in the healthy and diseased state, and to predict the outcome of current and future surgical interventions. You will work closely with your clinical partners to ensure a close alignment of scientific research goals with relevant clinical challenges.
Specific duties:
Development opportunities:
The post-doctoral research fellowship is initially funded for a period of three years, with the vision to extend this, contingent on the successful acquisition of additional third-party funding. Career development for scientific staff at the ETH Zurich places an emphasis on mobility but foresees the possibility of promotion to a non-permanent group head position ("Oberassistent:in"), with the aim to transition to a permanent scientific position beyond the ETH Zurich.
Essential experience, skills and characteristics:
Desirable criteria:
ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.
