It refers to acoustic imaging using signal processing techniques for detection of knee pathology (specifically osteoarthritis). More details at: https://www4.ad.ic.ac.uk/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/irc/candidateSelfService/webui/VisVacDispPG&akRegionApplicationId=821&transactionid=597402950&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=S&p_svid=44327&p_spid=1681176&oapc=7&oas=k1xBtQ1ttuUh4Sd7s2FUkA Many thanks (and apologies for the cross-posting) Margarita Kotti ------------------------------------------------------- Job Title: Research Assistant Department/Division/FacultyDepartment of Surgery and Cancer / Division of Surgery / Musculoskeletal Section Salary Range: £29,350 – £32,520 per annum Closing Date: 28 September 2014 (midnight BST) Charing Cross Campus The MSk (Musculoskeletal) Lab at the Charing Cross Hospital campus, Imperial College London, was recently awarded the highly prestigious 2014 Welcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund Networks of Excellence Award to support a research project which aims to use acoustic technology and signal processing techniques to develop and evaluate a novel medical imaging system for assessing the structural integrity of the knee joint during functional activity (i.e. walking). The project will inform and be supported by existing studies in the MSk Lab that explore the biomechanics of ‘healthy’ and osteoarthritic gait. The Principal Investigator and Head of the MSk Lab is Professor Justin Cobb, Professor of Orthopaedics. This is an interdisciplinary project that supports collaboration between the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering and Centre for Co-Curricular Studies, Imperial College London. The post-holder will be responsible for the day-to-day research project tasks, including interacting with patients and acquiring quality data, maintaining equipment and lab space, reviewing the existing literature, preparing ethical and research governance applications if required, research dissemination, etc. with the support of Dr Victoria Manning (postdoctoral Research Associate). The post provides a unique opportunity for a self-motivated individual, interested in pursuing a career in the field of biomedical science, to embark on a novel and exciting interdisciplinary research project over the upcoming year, supported by clinicians and academics across three university faculties. We are looking for someone with a BSc (2:1 or above) or equivalent in biomedical sciences, exercise physiology, biomechanics, biomedical engineering or similar, with an interest in human biomechanics and the use of technology to improve health outcomes. This post is full time and fixed term until 31 August 2015 in the first instance, and will be based at the Charing Cross Hospital Campus located in Hammersmith.
