Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biofluids
A postdoctoral position is available at Northwestern University to develop computer simulations of cerebral aneurysms. The project involves a combination of computing, mathematical modeling, and interpretation of clinical data. The project will also involve the development of a computational tool to study the non-linear dynamics and growth of cerebral aneurysms. This is a fluid-structure interaction problem that will include studying mathematical models of remodeling of the non-linear elastic arterial walls due to fluid stresses. The applicant will work with a dynamic interdisciplinary team consisting of faculty from applied mathematics, civil engineering, and neurosurgery. The successful applicant should have experience in scientific computing. The position is available to start now, actual start date is negotiable.
One of the top-ranked universities in the country, Northwestern University combines innovative teaching and pioneering research in a highly collaborative environment that transcends traditional academic boundaries. Northwestern provides students, faculty and staff with exceptional opportunities for intellectual, personal, and professional growth. Northwestern University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer. Members of historically underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
