General

• Effective Communication: Understands effective communication concepts, tools, and techniques; able to effectively transmit, receive, and accurately interpret ideas, information, and needs through the application of appropriate communication behaviors.


• Engineering: Has knowledge of and experience with designing, modeling, and executing the analysis of complex systems.


• Problem Solving: Possesses knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; able to apply this knowledge appropriately to diverse situations.


• Project Management: Able to plan, organize, monitor, and control projects, ensuring efficient utilization of technical and administrative resources, to achieve project objectives.

Specific

• Collaborating with Principal Investigators (Don Anderson and Geb Thomas), develop computational design and modeling-based research strategies to test hypotheses in support of project goals.
  
  
  
  • Develop novel computational analysis tools to address relevant research questions using source materials that include medical imaging and annotations.
  
  
  • Establish proof-of-concept capabilities of the modeling and participate in its validation.
  
  
  
  


• Conduct computational modeling research related to better understanding how to objectively measure skills performance in the operating room.


• Hypothesis generation, design and execution of research studies focusing on the role of skills training on performance in the operating room.


• Supervise undergraduate research assistants working in the research group.


• Assist the Principal Investigators with mentoring of graduate research assistants.


• Write and submit abstracts to national meetings for presentation. Also prepare manuscripts, analyze data, and interpret results.

Education Required

• PhD in an engineering discipline.

Experience Requirements

• At least 3 years of research experience in orthopedics relating to the computational analysis of medical image-based data, especially in the context of using artificial intelligence/machine learning approaches.


• Solid publication record in peer-reviewed national and international orthopedic, biomechanics, and/or industrial engineering journals that have been indexed in PubMed.


• Experience presenting research at national and regional meetings.


• Ability to apply complex engineering principles and to synthesize those principles with non-mechanical outcome modalities, including medical imaging or similar.
