Doctoral or PostDoc-Position (Biomechanics), University of Freiburg (Germany)

Firma/Institution: Department of Orthodontics, Freiburg University Medical Centre Land: Germany Position: PhD Position eingegangen am:20/08/2007

Beschreibung:
University of Freiburg, Germany

Doctoral or Postdoctoral Position (Biomechanics)
available for the development of smart orthodontic brackets („braces") with integrated force-moment sensors for therapeutic correction of irregular tooth position with objective feedback. The position is available from September 2007 on.
Project:
Through a collaboration between the Department of Orthodontics and the Department of Microsystems Engineering (University of Freiburg, Germany), we currently develop smart orthodontic brackets with an integrated, autonomic sensor system fabricated using CMOS-technology. Brackets or "braces" are adhesively attached to the teeth for correcting irregularly positioned teeth. Our goal is to realise an intelligent orthodontic appliance providing object feedback on the force-moment systems therapeutically applied to the teeth. Intelligent bracket technology offers attractive prospects for clinical research and for improved orthodontic therapies. The project is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for at least 3 years.
Tasks:

Finite-element (FE) simulations of biomechanical systems (tooth-bracket-models) for optimising the sensor system and for biomechanical research in orthodontics
Test and mechanical characterisation of the sensor system embedded in the bracket
In-vitro application of smart brackets in fundamental biomechanical research
Participation in the development of a concept for selection, handling and imaging of measurement data for later clinical application of smart brackets in orthodontic patients
Linking the technical groups (microsystems and microelectronic engineering) with the clinical (dental/orthodontic) research group participating in this innovative project
Your Profile:

University degree (diploma or master) in physics, mathematics or engineering with or without doctoral degree
Fundamental knowledge in engineering mechanics (experience in biomechanics desirable)
Experience in FE-Simulation (e.g. using Ansys, Comsol Multiphysics / FEMLAB) and in software programming (preferably with Matlab, LabView, C++) desirable
We offer:

Full position for at least 3 years (salary approx. 3000 € per month / TV-L E13)
Perspective for longer employment
Independent and responsible position in an inter-disciplinary research group
National and international contacts to other biomechanical research groups
Possibility for obtaining a doctoral (Ph.D) degree
