PhD and postdoc opportunities - January 2025

New calls with deadlines end January - early February

Research Associate – Computational Biomechanics
ISP/Applied Sciences Laboratory - Washington State University

The Spokane-based Applied Sciences Laboratory (ASL) of the Institute for Shock Physics (ISP) at Washington State University is a contract research organization that emphasizes multidisciplinary research activities in the physical sciences, engineering, and biomedical applications to undertake a broad range of applied science and technology projects for government agencies and corporations, including technology transfer for commercial applications.

The position requires an interest in applying finite element-based approaches for biomechanics related computational analysis, which calls for programming skills, critical thinking, and a background in mechanics and data analysis.

Specifically, the successful candidate will work on projects to expedite and generalize computational modeling in the knee to support the development of next generation implants and related surgical procedures. We are looking for a creative, self-motivated researcher who has the ability and the drive to pursue challenging, interdisciplinary problems in a fast-paced research environment.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Ph.D. degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or other closely related field that addresses the mechanics of biological structures.
  • Strong academic and research background related to simulation of musculoskeletal mechanics.
  • Hands-on experience and background in programming.
  • Ability to work independently and in a team environment, as needed.
  • Personal attributes should include critical thinking; excellent communication skills, both oral and written; sound judgment; clear sense of purpose; attention to detail; and accountability.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in physics-based simulation, including finite element analysis, and numerical analysis; specific experience in simulation of joint mechanics; surrogate modeling and/or machine learning techniques; and sensitivity analysis.
  • Specific experience using Python.

Pre/post-doctoral research fellowships β€œOmics/Modelling Approaches to Understanding Diabetes Pathophysiology"
National Research Council (CNR) in Padua, Italy

The fellows will work on the analysis of unprecedented clinical and/or omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), with the objective of capturing their role in the longitudinal progression of the main mechanisms of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

The fellows will work within a European consortium, IMI-DIRECT, working on the identification and validation of important biomarkers for glycaemic deterioration and treatment response. The consortium is made of scientists from both research institutions and pharmaceutical companies, and offers an interdisciplinary and stimulating environment.

A Ph.D., or Master Degree plus at least three years research experience, is beneficial but not required. Applicants should possess a good scientific background in bioengineering or bioinformatics and statistics, and the willingness to discuss results within a pathophysiology and biology framework.

Interested people can write an email to: roberto.bizzotto@cnr.it.
