Lecturer - Section 60 -  ISIFC - Mechanics and Design for Health

Numéro national du poste : UFC000002974

TEACHING ACTIVITIES 

The successful candidate will join the teaching team at ISIFC and be fully integrated into the engineering school. He/She will work in the field of mechanical engineering applied to medical devices, supporting students in acquiring skills in mechanical design (representation of mechanical systems and their kinematics, CAD, dimensioning, and elements of mechanical technology) and mechanical systems (modeling of mechanical connections and the calculation of forces and power transmission). He/She will introduce the concepts of environmental transition and impact assessment of medical devices into this specific mechanical engineering course. He/She will contribute to the school’s projects and assist with teaching organization.
He/She will be able to draw on his/her research work to provide relevant examples to facilitate the acquisition of skills.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES 

The successful candidate will join the Department of Applied Mechanics (DMA), which is located in Besançon and operates within a particularly dynamic scientific environment focused, notably, on health, biomedical engineering, and innovative technologies for living organisms.

The main tasks of the lecturer-researcher will be to:
• Develop high-fidelity experimental devices adapted to the anisotropic, visco-hyperelastic and evolving behaviour of soft tissues.
• Strengthen clinical collaborations by developing ‘bedside’ experimental methodologies in order to link mechanical measurement, numerical simulation and therapeutic responses.
• Promoting innovation and transfer to medical-industrial and hospital stakeholders.
• Participating in the scientific leadership of the research team: supervising doctoral students, setting up projects, coordinating seminars, involvement in networks and learned societies.

Demonstrated ability to integrate into a multidisciplinary environment and engage with partners from different scientific and medical backgrounds will be particularly appreciated.
