GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT OPENINGS
The Tissue Mechanics Lab in the Department of Bioengineering, University
of Pittsburgh, has immediate openings for two Ph.D.-level graduate
research assistants in the area of bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV)
tissue structural and mechanical analyses. The projects include:
1 - Microstructural and mechanical analyses of BHV explanted after
in-vivo use in humans.
2 - The study of the fatigue damage behavior of biologically derived
chemically treated tissues used in BHV fabrication.
A strong interest in tissue mechanics, structure, and composition is
required. Good experimental skills, ability to design and fabricate
testing devices are also a plus. In addition to experimental skills,
both projects will include computational modeling of BHV tissues. Thus,
candidates with a background with FEM modeling will also be considered.
For both projects, a 12 month stipend with full tuition waiver is
included. Students with a Master's degree and/or relevant work
experience are preferred.
