Virtually optimize pacemaker settings using Digital Twin technology, like F1 teams use simulators. Excited about heart simulations in healthcare? Read on_

Your research will leverage advanced computational modelling and simulation to investigate the complex interplay between cardiac electrical activation, mechanical function, and therapeutic outcomes. Through these virtual experiments, you will analyse electrical resynchronization patterns, hemodynamic performance, and how various cardiac conditions - including conduction disorders, mechanical dysfunction, structural diseases, and comorbidities - affect treatment outcomes.

**Requirements**:
Success in this project will rely on collaboration and perseverance, uniting biomedical engineering, clinical cardiology, and industry. You should have:

- A Master’s degree in (Biomedical or Mechanical) Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
- Interest in cardiovascular physiology, biophysics, and computational modelling.
- A strong desire to learn and collaborate across fields.

**What we offer**
- Good employment conditions. The position is graded in scale P according to UFO profile PhD, with corresponding salary based on experience ranging from €2872,00 and €3670,00 gross per month (based on a full-time employment of 38 hours per week). In addition to the monthly salary, an 8.0% holiday allowance and an 8.3% year-end bonus apply.

And the future of society, as we seek solutions through our research to issues from all around the world. Our six faculties combined provide a comprehensive package of study programmes and research.

In our teaching, we use the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method. Students work in small groups, looking for solutions to problems themselves. By discussing issues and working together to draw conclusions, formulate answers and present them to their peers, students develop essential skills for their future careers.

With over 22,300 students and more than 5,000 employees from all over the world, UM is home to a vibrant and inspiring international community.

Are you drawn to an international setting focused on education, science and scholarship? Are you keen to contribute however your skills and qualities allow? Our door is open to you As a young European university, we value your talent and look forward to creating the future together.

**Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences**
At the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML), everything revolves around healthy living. Our research and education are not solely focused on recovery, but place a strong emphasis on prevention, health preservation, and health promotion. Our aim is to use our knowledge and expertise to genuinely contribute to the well-being of individual people as well as society in total.

In, research, and healthcare, FHML is closely collaborating with the academic hospital in Maastricht, together forming the Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+). FHML is strongly connected in education, research, and care with the Maastricht academic hospital, together with which it forms the Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+).
