Description :
Background : The Camarillo Lab in the Stanford University Departments of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Neurosurgery is hiring a postdoctoral position to advance our understanding of the mechanisms of mild traumatic brain injury. Our group has pioneered the use of wearable instrumented mouthguards in athletes and soldiers. We have discovered specific vulnerable areas of the head that translate into deep brain strains associated with blood-brain barrier disruption and axonal injury. Our translational goal is to develop biologically based injury criteria for standards in sports equipment, automotive, aerospace, military, and beyond. Our approach is to generate hypotheses from computational and anthropomorphic models and then test in large animal models and humans. For example, we seek to reproduce stress and strain patterns measured from human injuries in animals to understand the precise biophysical mechanisms of concussion. Our research has been covered by TED.com, NY Times, Washington Post, NPR, and other major media outlets. We are seeking a talented and motivated individual to lead projects and mentor students in our collaborative and interdisciplinary research program.
Required Experience :
- Interest or experience in hands-on biomechanical large animal experiments
- Multiple first-author peer-reviewed publications in top journals
- Computational modeling in at least 1-2 of the following areas :
- Rigid body modeling
- Machine learning models
- Statistical models
