Phd On Computational Modelling of Respiratory

3 maanden geleden


Eindhoven, Nederland TU Eindhoven Voltijd

**Job description**:

- Are you inspired by working in a multidisciplinary and international environment and by collaborating with academic, clinical and industrial partners?
- Are you eager to work on mathematical models of biological flows and respiratory physiology?

Then the current PhD position could suit you perfectly well.
The respiratory system is of vital importance in sustaining life. Unfortunately, under various circumstances its function can be seriously compromised, for instance in COPD patients. Furthermore, under extreme conditions, patients require involved clinical intervention such as mechanical ventilation to maintain its function. The lung’s response to both pathophysiology and mechanical ventilation is impacted significantly by its mechanical environment. However, little is currently known about this environment, as it is difficult to quantify _in vivo_ due to the heterogeneity of the lung tissue and the lack of straightforward measurement techniques. Computer modelling could play a major role in unraveling the lung’s response to pathophysiology and mechanical ventilation and in developing novel treatment strategies.

The work you will be performing will be supervised by the PI (Wouter Huberts) and a newly appointed assistant professor (Sjeng Quicken) and will be in close collaboration with clinical partners at, amongst others, Maastricht University Medical Center. You will be allowed to play a large role in deciding the course of your PhD journey.

**Job requirements**:

- A master’s degree (or an equivalent university degree) in (Bio)medical Engineering, Mathematics, Knowledge engineering, Physics or Mechanical Engineering.
- Deep knowledge in physics-based mathematical modelling such as computational fluid-mechanics
- Experience with uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis is a pre.
- A strong affinity with working on clinically relevant and translational research
- An academic attitude and strong analytical mind.
- Enjoy working in a multidisciplinary team with academic, clinical, and industrial partners.
- Fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level).

**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
