Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Research Assistant in Orthopaedic Retrievals and Experimental Simulation**:
**Do you have a strong technical background in medical engineering with an interest in analysis orthopaedic retrievals and experimental testing? Would you like to work as part of a multidisciplinary team to address a clinically driven challenge?**

In the UK alone, over 100,000 hip replacement operations are performed every year. While the procedure is highly successful in the majority of cases, some patients are at risk that their device will fail early due to how it was put in, their anatomy or the way they move.

In the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, we have developed methods of evaluating the performance of hip replacements using a combination of specialised experimental ‘simulator’ testing and computational modelling; in combination we have developed methods to assess orthopaedic retrievals.

This position supports an on-going programme of work that is focussed on orthopaedic retrievals, in terms of their collection and analysis and also, the development of preclinical in vitro methodologies that generate similar mechanical failure mechanisms as those observed in vivo. As part of a wider team, you will be responsible for orthopaedic retrievals, their processing, assessment and related research. Additionally, you may develop methodologies in experimental hip simulation to better mimic in vivo mechanical damage mechanisms.

You will have a first or upper second class degree in engineering or physical sciences. A good understanding of research in joint tribology is essential, as is a positive, motivated approach to research in a collaborative team.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance.
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team, and self-development courses including languages, Creative Writing, Wellbeing Therapies and much more.
- Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.

And much more
