Postbaccalaureate Researcher

(Carl Imhauser/Biomechanics Department)

Full-Time

JOB SUMMARY:

The Post-Baccalaureate Researcher Program (www.hss.edu/post-baccalaureate-training-program.asp) offers formal training in clinical and translational science. The program offers opportunities to engage in translational research experiences highly relevant for individuals interested in furthering their career through medical school, graduate school, or other clinical training. The Postbacc Fellow (trainee) will gain aptitude in techniques of patient-centered clinical research, physiology, biomechanics, and data analysis and interpretation. The trainee will build skills in scientific communication in oral and written form by presenting to his peers and mentors at monthly research meetings; by formulating abstracts for presentation at major clinical and scientific conferences; and by preparing publications for submission to well-ranked orthopaedic specialty journals. Clinical shadowing experiences, attending Grand Rounds of clinical services, and participating in laboratory meetings of the Biomechanics Department and of other laboratories of the HSS Research Enterprise (Soft Tissue Laboratory, Research Institute, etc.) will enrich the clinical and translational experience in preparation for graduate or medical school. A minimum 1-year commitment is preferred. T he trainee will contribute immediately to on-going clinical research as part of an interdisciplinary clinical and translational research team consisting of sports surgeons, radiologists, mechanical engineers, physical therapists, statisticians, and epidemiologists.

The trainee’s primary project is entitled, “Predicting graft failure in ACL reconstruction: a quantitative imaging, knee stability, and patient-specific knee modeling approach”. Suffering a second ACL injury is a devastating outcome following ACL reconstruction. Our long-term goal is to reduce incidence of ACL reinjury through evidence-based innovation of surgical techniques. The current project will identify factors related to a second ACL injury by considering ACL graft structure and composition, knee joint anatomy and mechanics, whole body movement analysis, and patient perceptions of knee function. Identifying these factors will yield quantitative mechanics-based indications for surgical decisions (e.g., use of lateral augmentation surgery and/or HTO) and rehabilitation to improve ACL graft longevity and to reduce the chance of a second ACL injury. The trainee will work as part of a highly productive and dynamic clinical and translational team of scientists and clinicians employing clinical and biomechanical approaches pioneered at HSS. Additional opportunities to contribute to on-going projects are possible. The PostBacc Fellow will be embedded within the Sports Medicine Institute and the Department of Biomechanics and will be closely connected with the clinical practices of participating surgeons.
