Open positions with deadlines in December
Senior postdoctoral researcher in computer methods for ERC Consolidator Grant O-Health
Universitat Pompeu Fabra - ETIC Tecnologies de la InformaciĂł i les Comunicacions
We are offering a 4-5-year postdoctoral position for our research line Computer methods for modeling based on finite elements and agents in multiscale simulations, within the context of the O-Health project.
The researcher will be responsible for the development of the multiscale simulation platform of the O-Health project, combining finite element (organ/tissue level) and agent-based (multicellular models) models and solvers.
The researcher will gradually become responsible for the conversion of models based on the physics and biology of the BMMB, into interoperable tools within automated simulation flows, through bottom-up and top-down modeling. Likewise, he will execute and be responsible for the conversion of the models based on the physics and biology of the BMMB, into interoperable tools within automated simulation flows, for the bottom-up and top-down modeling of O-Health. You will define, program and implement workflows using and adapting existing free and open solutions, such as SBML, HDF5 and MUSCLE.

PhD at the Interface of Ultrasound Imaging and Computational Visualization
The Institute for Modelling and Simulation of Biomechanical Systems at the University of Stuttgart
The Continuum Biomechanics and Mechanobiology research group (Prof. Oliver Röhrle) is one of the two chairs at the Institute for Modelling and Simulation of Biomechanical Systems. The group focuses on developing and applying computational and experimental methods to investigate the neuromuscular system and related fields.
This project aims to develop and validate an architectural-informed and activation-driven 3D muscle model of the human M. tibialis anterior. Therefore, using a custom-built ultrasound scanning device, a new method will be developed to determine and visualize the 3D muscle architecture during dynamic muscle contractions. Computational methods are essential to leverage the full potential of ultrasound data.
Candidates should have a strong background in at least one of the following fields:

PhD in the Field of Computational Modelling and Simulation of Biological Tissue Adaptation
The Institute for Modelling and Simulation of Biomechanical Systems at the University of Stuttgart
The research project focuses on the modelling and simulation of skeletal muscle adaptation in the framework of multiscale continuum biomechanics. The aim of the project is the in-silico modelling of healthy and fibrotic tissue as well as the mathematical description of the mechanobiological processes that drive microstructural tissue changes.
We seek candidates with a strong background in at least one of the following fields:
Programming skills in mathematical software tools like Matlab and/or languages like Python are expected. Knowledge about homogenisation theory and multiscale modelling are highly beneficial. Further, the candidate is expected to have an excellent masterâs degree (or equivalent) in studies with a strong mechanical and numerical focus, such as, e.g., civil engineering, simulation sciences, biomedical engineering or applied mathematics. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team, good communication skills and the willingness to take on teaching responsibilities are essential requirements.

PhD-Position at the Interface of Computational and Experimental Neuromechanics
The Institute for Modelling and Simulation of Biomechanical Systems at the University of Stuttgart
The overall aim of the project is to link neurophysiology and skeletal muscle mechanics. Therefore, we aim to develop novel magnetomyographic measurement systems that allow the study of the neuromuscular system non-invasively and in vivo. This is only feasible by conducting highly interdisciplinary research combining experimental measurements, simulation science and signal processing.
With our aim to link in vivo experiments and computer simulations, we seek candidates with a strong background in at least one of the following fields:
Good programming skills in Matlab, Python, etc. are expected. Further, the candidate is expected to have an excellent masterâs degree (or equivalent) in studies focusing on neurophysiology, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, simulation sciences, applied physics or applied mathematics. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team, good communication skills and the willingness to take on teaching responsibilities are essential requirements.

Developing virtual reality for paediatric neurorehabilitation
University of Sheffield
Neurorehabilitation is used to improve children and young peopleâs mobility and perceptive functions as well as to provide them with various compensatory strategies. However, current access to paediatric neurorehabilitation in the NHS is very limited.
Using digital therapeutics, such as virtual reality, may be an engaging and attractive alternative to conventional therapies, and could facilitate neurorehabilitation taking place at home. The use of digital therapeutics in paediatric neurorehabilitation may also improve the delivery of assessments, treatments, and clinical outcomes for children and young people diagnosed with brain and spinal cord tumours because of its potential to overcome current limitations of current therapies.
