Musculoskeletal Mechanics
The Musculoskeletal Mechanics Group combines experimental and computational approaches to the study of bone, joint and whole-body mechanics.
We investigate the structure and function in healthy as well as injured or diseased states using optical and electromagnetic tracking, finite element analysis, imaging, experimental testing, and muscle modelling. With this research we hope to gain a fundamental understanding of the influence of mechanical loads in health, disease and extreme performance on the musculoskeletal system.
Positions Available
Thank you for your interest in musculoskeletal biomechanics research within the group.
Please note that Professor Bull is currently not taking on any new PhD students as direct supervisor, however there are always positions available for excellent prospective PhD students and postdoctoral staff within the group with a different direct supervisor
Non-UK staff can be supported in applications for the following:
- Imperial College Research Fellowships
- The Royal Society Newton Fellowships
- Versus Arthritis UK Career Development Fellowship
- Versus Arthritis UK Foundation Fellowship
PhD studentships for UK and foreign applicants are offered through the Imperial College Scholarships, which you will have to apply for in late autumn this year to be considered for entry in October next year.
There are other are scholarships available that are funded through the US; these include the Marshall Scholarship and the Fulbright Awards. If you believe that you stand a good chance of obtaining these, then please contact Professor Bull directly with your full CV and he can make a decision on whether to interview you.
Prof Anthony Bull is happy to sponsor anyone with a strong track record who would like to apply for their own fellowship or scholarship to join his research group. Please contact him directly if interested in the following;
External Postdoc Fellowships: Newton International Fellowships (open Jan-Mar); Marie Curie Individual Fellowships (Open Apr-Sep); EMBO Fellowships etc.
