The position will be a full-time appointment in the Injury Biomechanics Research Center, which will allow students to learn all aspects of injury biomechanics, including real-world dynamic impact testing using instrumentation, data acquisition, recording high-speed videos & data analysis, medical image analysis, skeletal biology, and virtual FE simulation utilizing 3D CAD modeling, FE modeling, and FE dynamic simulation. Because the IBRC has multiple on-going projects, students are expected to be involved in a variety of projects at various levels, rather than being assigned to one specific project with one specific role.

The responsibilities for this position may include but are not limited to:
• Support researchers and graduate students with preparing and instrumenting subjects for testing
• Facilitate gathering of materials and data for various projects and reports
• Assists with maintenance of instrumentation and data acquisition systems
• Assists with acquisition, compilation, and basic analysis of data and recording high-speed videos
• Assist with anatomical dissection for identification of injuries, trauma analysis, processing of
skeletal elements
• Performs searches for relevant literature and other media                                  • Performs general laboratory tasks including housekeeping and organizing research supplies
• Provide assistance with the preparation of project-related reports, manuscripts, and presentations
• Assist with transport of specimens and equipment, between various locations within OSU and to
