University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Description
Are you a motivated recent graduate holding a PhD thesis in Physiotherapy, Movement Sciences, Rehabilitation Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field? Are you interested in understanding how movement patterns influence joint health and contribute to the development and progression of osteoarthritis? Did you use motion capture in combination with musculoskeletal modeling, or medical imaging as part of your PhD research? Join the ERC-funded OA-CONNECT project, where we investigate a fundamental and unresolved question: why does mechanical loading—normally essential for cartilage health—become harmful in osteoarthritis (OA)? Project context OA-CONNECT is a multidisciplinary research program that connects joint biomechanics to cellular processes through a multiscale approach. By integrating in vitro, in silico, and in vivo methodologies, we aim to understand how mechanical signals experienced during daily activities influence cartilage health and degeneration. This position focuses on the human and clinical component of OA-CONNECT. Through advanced movement analysis, medical imaging, and longitudinal patient monitoring, we aim to identify movement-related factors that contribute to cartilage degeneration and treatment response in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
