POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN COMPUTATIONAL BIOFLUID MECHANICS
The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
at the University of Toronto is seeking a postdoctoral fellow
in the area of computational modelling in biomechanics. The
successful applicant will join a group studying the relationship
between blood flow patterns and the development of arterial disease
using computational modelling. More specifically, he/she will:
(i) use CAD software to construct three-dimensional arterial models
from medical images; (ii) construct finite element meshes in these
arterial geometries; and (iii) carry out blood flow simulations in
these models.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, mechanical
engineering, or a closely related field. They should also have experience
in construction of CAD models with complex 3D surfaces, and some background
in finite element analysis and/or computational fluid dynamics.
Applications will be accepted until a suitable candidate is found. The
appointment will be for two years, with start date in summer 1997, or as
soon as otherwise possible.
Please send a complete curriculum vitae, including copies of any
relevant papers and the names of three referees, to:
Prof. C. Ross Ethier
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
University of Toronto
5 King's College Road
Toronto, Ontario
M5S 3G8
Canada
