Job description
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoc at the Division of Neuronic Engineering at KTH (https://www.kth.se/mth/neuronik/divi...ering-1.741783).
Preclinical rat experiments of traumatic brain injury are widely used for neurotrauma research and therapeutic development. Today, the causal pathway from experimental insults, to localized tissue strains, and ultimately the injury onset is unknown. Yet little biomechanical reference exists for researchers to design and improve animal tests. These limitations hinder the development of optimal experiments and incur cruel animal suffering and killing. The Virtual-Rat project aims to develop a high-biofidelity, high-resolution computational rat model with dual applications: i) advance the mechanistic understanding of brain injury by linking computational biomechanics with experimental pathology, and ii) enhance rat experiments by correlating external impact parameters to internal biomechanical responses via an open-access dataset.
You will be expected to dedicate your time develop a high-biofidelity, high-resolution computational FE model to advance the mechanistic understanding of brain injury by linking computational biomechanics with experimental pathology. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team with competent biomechanists, computational engineers, and experimentalists from Kungliga Tekniska hogskolan, Chalmers University of Technology, and Karolinska Institutet.
Preferred qualifications
You send your scholarship application via email to zhouz@kth.se. You as the applicant have the main responsibility for ensuring that your application is complete when it is submitted.
The application must include the following documents:
- Curriculum vitae including relevant professional experience and knowledge.
- Brief account of why you want to conduct research, your academic interests and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. Max two pages long.
- Copy of diplomas and grades from your previous university studies. Translations into English or Swedish if the original documents have not been issued in any of these languages.
