ESBiomech24 Congress in Edinburgh

Postdoc position on multiscale soft tissue mechanics using SAXS and Tomography

The institute of Bioengineering at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to couple synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and phase-contrast micro-tomography (pCT) to enable 3D imaging of fibrillar collagenous tissue in organs like joints and intervertebral discs. The bioengineering challenge is to determine the correlated 3D deformation and structural changes at the molecular-, fibrillar-, and cell-matrix length-scales under physiological load in intact tissue, and how these alter in ageing, injury and disease.

The position will be based on the Harwell Campus at Diamond Light Source (DLS), and is part of an international EPSRC-funded project (Tomo-SAXS) between QMUL, DLS, University College London, University of Manchester, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
