3 weeks ago
Position Overview:
The School of Biological and Environmental Sciences is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher as part of 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 focusing on the hind limb movements of dinosaurs and birds as they interact with compliant substrates. The research will incorporate:
- 3D kinematic data derived from XROMM and fossilized tracks.
- Laboratory-based force measurement techniques.
- Discrete Element Method (DEM) particle simulations.
Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate will possess demonstrable experience in one of the following areas:
- Musculoskeletal modeling of locomotion, with proficiency in software such as OpenSim, MuJoCo, etc.
- Simulations involving compliant substrates using the Discrete Element Method, Material Point Method, or similar methodologies. Familiarity with LIGGGHTS is advantageous, though we are open to candidates experienced with alternative software and techniques.
Collaboration and Communication:
As a member of our research team, you will collaborate closely with the Principal Investigator and fellow researchers, integrating findings and contributing to the collective knowledge of 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 that includes:
- Generous annual leave.
- Pension scheme.
- Induction and professional development support.
- Family-friendly policies.
Commitment to Diversity:
Liverpool John Moores University values diversity and strives to create a supportive and inclusive environment where all individuals can reach their full potential.
If you believe your skills and experience align with this role, we encourage you to consider this opportunity to contribute to significant research in the field of palaeontology.
