SDU Mechatronics and the Centre of Industrial Mechanics, part of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, invites applications for a position as postdoctoral researcher in biomechanics and medical device design. Starting date is between the 1st of May and 1st of June 2024.
Workplace description
The Department of Mechanical and Electrical engineering covers research and education spanning from fundamentals to applications of engineering science. All our courses are taught in English reflecting the fact that more than half our students and staff are internationals. The Centre for Industrial Mechanics is located at SDU's beautiful campus in Sønderborg, in the inspiring building of Alsion, which is a center for science, culture and learning in the heart of Sønderborg and perched on the strait of water separating the island of Als from the mainland. The university has very close relations to the industry in Sønderborg, Southern Denmark and Northern Germany. A significant fraction of the projects in the center are conducted in close cooperation with the industry, which count world leading companies in growing fields such as e-mobility, automation, climate solutions and energy efficiency.
At SDU Mechatronics, research, education, and innovation are performed in teams of scientists and support staff with competences spanning a wide range of fields including heating/cooling systems, applied cyber-physical systems, advanced mechanical systems, modelling, and mechatronic prototyping.

To complement our team, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in biomechanics and medical device design. In addition, experience in two or more of the following fields is preferred:
- Additive manufacturing
- Numerical optimization
- Mechanical design
- Biomechanics and characterization of biomechanical structures
- Mechanical characterization including dynamic response and environmental testing
The ideal candidate has extensive experience with:
- Biomechanical testing, including acquiring patient data
- Standardized mechanical testing and validation
- Design for various fabrication methods
The candidate is expected to collaborate with industrial partners and medical patients, perform research work on externally funded projects, as well as be involved with on-site manufacturing facilities and testing laboratories.
The candidate must have:
