The University of Oklahoma has a 2-year with possible 2-year extension Postdoctoral Research Associate position available in Biomedical Engineering Lab under Dr. Rong Gan and Dr. Yijie Jiang to conduct experimental measurements of acoustic-mechanical transmission through the ear in human temporal bone study and animal model of chinchilla. Of particular interest are candidates who have relevant research experience and education in the auditory system.  

The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Lab is in the Stephenson Research and Technology Center on the University Research Campus adjacent to the University of Oklahoma’s main campus in Norman, Oklahoma. The BME lab is equipped with advanced facilities to conduct research in auditory testing, material property measuring, and computational modeling. The candidates also will have access to core facilities on the Norman campus and the OU Health Sciences Center (Medical School) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Required:

• Research experience in acoustics, biomechanics, and experiments in animal or human ear (temporal bone)
• Relevant education degree (PhD level)

Preference:

• Biomechanics of the ear
• Research experience in animal model

Interested individuals should send a curriculum vitae and the names and contact information for three references to Dr. Rong Gan ([email protected]) and Dr. Yijie Jiang ([email protected]), School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, University of Oklahoma.
