Offer Description

As a PhD candidate you will contribute to our innovative projects as part of a leading international consortium. The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Laboratory is involved in a recently granted EU project entitled GEMINI .

This project aims to deliver validated multi-organ and multi-scale computational models for treatment decision support and improved fundamental understanding of acute strokes, both ischaemic and haemorrhagic. We aim to demonstrate the added benefit of these computational models in personalized disease management.

Requirements
Specific Requirements

We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate -preferably with an engineering background- who will be working on the interface between biomechanical engineering and clinical sciences.

As a key member of our collaborative network, the successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to engage closely with renowned experts and professionals from diverse backgrounds. The candidate will be taking the lead in various projects relevant to the GEMINI project. This includes detailed analyses of clinical data on mechanical properties of thrombi recently obtained during two clinical trials. The candidate will be applying these data for developing and validating mechanical models of thrombi, developing surrogate models, and implementing these models in silico clinical trial platforms.

The potential PhD candidates are expected to:

• Have a strong interest and/or experience in clinical data and mechanical test data analysis, mechanical modelling, and surrogate modelling.
• Hold or about to obtain an MSc degree from a technical program such as Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, Applied Physics or similar. Candidates with a medical background with a strong interest and affinity with the topic are invited to apply as well.
• Be creative, a team player and eager to take initiative.
• Have good communication skills, and be fluent in both written and spoken English.

Additional Information
Benefits

• You will receive a temporary position for 4 years. The gross monthly salary is €2.901,- in the 1st year and increases to €3677 ,- in the 4th year (scale OIO).
• Excellent fringe benefits, such as a 13th month that is already paid out in November and a individual travel expense package.
• Pension insurance with ABP. We take care of approximately 2/3 of the monthly contribution.
• Special benefits, such as a incompany physiotherapist and bicycle repairer. And there is also a gym where you can work on your fitness after work.
