As of Jun 10, 2026, the average yearly pay for biomechanics postdoc in the United States is $59,022.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $49,000.00 and $66,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Biomechanics Postdoc, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Biomechanics Postdoc, you need an advanced degree (PhD) in biomechanics or a related field, along with strong analytical skills in human movement and quantitative analysis. Familiarity with motion capture systems, computational modeling software, and statistical analysis tools is typically required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and scientific communication skills help distinguish top candidates in research environments. These competencies are critical for conducting rigorous biomechanical research, publishing impactful findings, and contributing effectively to interdisciplinary teams.

What is a Biomechanics Postdoc?

A Biomechanics Postdoc is a researcher who has completed their PhD and is conducting advanced studies in biomechanics, typically at a university or research institution. Their work focuses on understanding the mechanical aspects of living organisms, such as movement, forces, and material properties of tissues. Postdocs in biomechanics often design experiments, analyze data, publish research findings, and may help supervise students. Their research can have applications in healthcare, sports, robotics, and ergonomics. The position is usually temporary, lasting one to three years, and serves as a bridge to a permanent academic or industry role.

What are some common challenges faced by Biomechanics Postdocs during their research projects?

Biomechanics Postdocs often encounter challenges such as securing funding for independent research, managing complex data analysis, and balancing multiple project deadlines. Additionally, they may need to adapt quickly to new experimental techniques or equipment and navigate interdisciplinary collaboration with clinicians, engineers, or data scientists. Developing effective communication skills and time management strategies is essential for success in this dynamic research environment.

Job description

A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in the Department of Imaging Physics in the laboratory of Kristy Brock, Ph.D.
The Morfeus Lab at MD Anderson ( https://www.mdanderson.org/research/departments-labs-institutes/labs/morfeus-laboratory.html) is led by Dr. Kristy Brock. Our research is focused on the development and application of deformable image registration algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, biomechanical modeling, and image guided cancer therapy technologies for strategic research collaborations and clinical translation. Our lab is a highly collaborative research training environment in a state-of-the-art imaging facility and world class resources. Ongoing projects seeking postdocs include:
1) Image-guided liver surgery
2) Image-guided head and neck surgery
3) Cancer risk assessment and outcomes prediction using artificial intelligence
4) Validating in vivo imaging signals using correlative pathology
5) Image-guided focal liver ablation
6) Dose accumulation for personalized adaptive radiation therapy
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This postdoctoral fellow will engage in computational research projects in image guided cancer therapy, including research, design, and implementation of deformable image registration, biomechanical modeling, and artificial intelligence technologies. The fellow will expand their knowledge and skills in imaging physics, data mining, predictive modeling, clustering, and classification and will develop, train, and apply deep learning in large data environments. The fellow will help to guide research and clinical collaborations and work with collaborators to integrate image guided cancer therapy models and technologies into the clinical workflow. They will collaborate and coordinate with research and clinical stakeholders and communicate findings via abstracts, poster and podium presentations, and publications.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applicants should have earned a PhD in one of the natural sciences, computer sciences, engineering, or related fields or a medical degree. Experience with machine learning and deep learning techniques, statistical modeling, biomechanical modeling, or image registration and analysis is preferred.
POSITION INFORMATION
Offsite work arrangements are subject to approval and may be modified or revoked at any time based on business needs, performance considerations, or regulatory requirements.
This position may be responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of critical infrastructure, as defined in Section 113.001(2) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and therefore may require routine reviews and screening. The ability to satisfy and maintain all requirements necessary to ensure the continued security and integrity of such infrastructure is a condition of hire and continued employment.
