We are seeking a high achieving student interested in biomechanics to develop anatomically accurate finite element models of single ventricle hearts. These models will be used to study the mechanics of single ventricle hearts in order to understand the factors that cause heart failure in these patients.
This project is a collaborative project between University of Melbourne, Australia and University of Birmingham, UK and is driven by our clinical collaborators at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia (MCRI). The MCRI is a leading children's research institute with a strong track record in cardiovascular research. Between MCRI, the University of Melbourne and University of Birmingham, the candidate will be in an exciting research environment with some of the leaders in cardiovascular and biomechanics research.
The ideal candidate will have strong mathematical and mechanics background with good programming skills. Students can directly apply via the University of Melbourne or theUniversity of Birmingham-University of Melbourne Joint PhD program.
