Postdoctoral Researcher in Palaeontological Studies
3 weeks ago
Position Overview:
The School of Biological and Environmental Sciences is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a prestigious UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee project. This role, led by Prof Peter Falkingham, will delve into the evolutionary biomechanics of locomotion within the dinosaur-bird lineage, utilizing fossilized footprints as a primary data source.
Key Responsibilities:
This position will primarily involve the development of biomechanics simulations focused on the hind limb mechanics of dinosaurs and birds as they interact with compliant substrates. The successful candidate will engage with various forms of data, including:
- 3D kinematic data derived from XROMM and fossilized tracks.
- Laboratory-based force measurement assessments.
- Discrete element method particle simulations.
Candidate Profile:
The ideal applicant will possess demonstrable expertise in one of the following areas:
- Musculoskeletal modeling of locomotion, with proficiency in software tools such as OpenSim, MuJoCo, or similar.
- Simulations of compliant substrates using methodologies like the Discrete Element Method or Material Point Method. Familiarity with LIGGGHTS is advantageous, though we are open to various software applications and techniques.
Collaboration and Communication:
As part of a dynamic research team, you will collaborate closely with the Principal Investigator and fellow researchers, integrating findings across the project. You will be expected to disseminate your research through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at academic conferences.
Benefits:
We offer a comprehensive benefits package, which includes:
- Generous annual leave.
- Pension scheme.
- Induction and professional development support.
- Family-friendly policies.
Institutional Commitment:
This is an exciting opportunity to join Liverpool John Moores University as we strive to fulfill our strategic vision for 2030, emphasizing inclusivity and the transformative impact of education on lives and futures.
If you believe your skills and experience align with this role, we encourage you to consider this opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our research endeavors.
Diversity and Inclusion:
Liverpool John Moores University values diversity and is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all individuals can reach their full potential.
