Job Title:

Postdoctoral Research Fellow## Department:

Medicine | Orthopedics
** Position Description
** The Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory within Department of Orthopaedics at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is seeking candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position with immediate need. Ambitious, self-motivated, hard-working, bright graduates interested in a full-time position near the main Ohio State University campus in Columbus, OH, are welcome to apply. This opportunity is supervised by Vice Chair of Research Dr.

Nathaniel Bates, PhD. The successful applicant will have the unique opportunity to engage in clinical and laboratory-based research across multiple divisions within the Department of Orthopaedics. Through this diversity of projects, the successful applicant will be extended ample opportunities for publication in peer-reviewed medical journals. Primary roles for this position will include:
* ** DATA CURATION (estimated 50% FTE)**  + Data Collection – The candidate will lead laboratory data collections of both live patient and cadaveric studies. This includes setup, tear down, specimen handling, and dissection. The candidate will be expected to learn and operate multiple technical systems including 3D motion analysis, Electromyography, embedded force platforms, mechanical simulators, and any new technology introduced to the laboratory for scientific testing purposes.  

+ Data Management – The candidate will be expected to manage the curation, organization, clean up, refinement and processing of laboratory data. This process begins at collection and is ongoing until data termination.
