JOB DESCRIPTION:

The CIS brings together 70 people, including 18 professors in engineering industrial/computing, biomechanics and healthcare engineering. Since its creation in 2004, the CIS has been representative of the ability of Mines Saint-Etienne to acquire leadership on innovative themes such as, for example, Soft tissue biomechanics. SAINBIOSE (INSERM UMR 1059) brings together researchers from the CIS (biomechanics, biomaterials and bioengineering), the faculty of Medicine from Jean Monnet University, Saint-Etienne University Hospital, Inserm and the French Blood Establishment. The global scientific objective of SAINBIOSE is a better understanding and of biostress in osteoarticular (LBTO team) and cardiovascular pathologie (DVH team).

Biomechanics, experimental and computational, is a major research topic of SAINBIOSE, which goes from modelling the mechanical behaviour of tissues to clinical and industrial applications, especially with the textile industry. The first one is about ~10 cm of height and width and will be used to visualize the particle packing by means of 3D - X rays micro-tomomography. The analysis of tomography images should allow us to eval- uate different parameters related to the particle packing and its homogeneity.

We are planning to open a non-permanent position of engineer assistant to join a team working on vascular biomechanics. The engineer assistant will collaborate with researchers conducting basic research in biomechanics and biomedical engineering, within the framework of a laboratory environment.

The work will be carried out at Mines Saint-Etienne, within the SAINBIOSE research unit (Inserm U1059).

The objective of the project is to collect data on the biomarkers expressed by cells of the vascular system.

The project will take place in a research group having 15 years experience in biomechanics (https://emse.fr/~avril/).

Tasks may change depending on the needs of the department and Mines Saint-Etienne.

The position is based on the Saint-Étienne campus, at the Centre Ingénierie et Santé (Hospital campus at the North of Saint-Etienne).
