Postdoc - cardiovascular computational modeling

The Cardiovascular and Respiratory Physiology (CRPH) group is looking for an (inter-)national candidate with a strong affinity for cardiovascular computational modeling and translational research. CRPH is part of the Faculty of Science and Technology (TNW) and embedded in the Translational Physiology cluster of the TechMed Centre. Together with our clinical partners we strive to develop innovative, practical solutions for daily care in close collaboration with the biomedical industry.

We seek an enthusiastic team player who is eager to advance computational modeling in the cardiovascular field with the goal to seek innovative solutions applicable to healthcare. The aim of the current research activity is to realize a novel monitoring device in close collaboration between academia and industry. This research project focuses on developing a cutting edge technology to monitor cardiovascular health and disease, and at testing its validity and applicability.

The research and product development is conducted within a highly multidisciplinary team, involving the CRPH group, the Biomedical Photonic Imaging group and a dedicated industrial partner. In this sense, your position will allow to interact as an indispensable pivot and jointly collaborate with renowned experts with an inspiring variety of scientific, medical, engineering and commercial backgrounds.

As the research activity is highly translational, you will have the opportunity to contribute to all different phases of development of a medical product prototype, and will be critically involved at all stages of its testing, from in vitro to clinical practice.

You will be embedded into a young, enthusiastic and international academic group, with a strong focus on modelling and advanced signal analysis while pursuing a generic ambition to realize clinical applicability as a foremost research outcome.

The Faculty of Science & Technology (Technische Natuurwetenschappen, TNW) engages some 700 staff members and 2000 students in education and research on the cutting edge of chemical technology, applied physics and biomedical technology. Our fields of application include sustainable energy, process technology and materials science, nanotechnology and technical medicine. As part of a people-first tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, our faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. Our research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally and is strengthened by the many young researchers working on innovative projects with as doctoral candidates and post-docs. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
