Job Summary
QUALIFICATIONS
Required:
Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Biomechanics or a related field.
Strong background in biomechanics particularly soft tissue mechanics.
Experience with benchtop mechanical testing (e.g. pressure-flow loops valve testers).
Proficiency in computational modeling (e.g. Abaqus ANSYS FEBio COMSOL or similar).
Programming and data analysis skills (MATLAB Python etc.).
Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team-oriented environment.
Preferred:
Experience with cardiovascular physiology and/or cardiac valve function.
Familiarity with fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling.
Prior publications in relevant areas (biomechanics cardiovascular modeling).
JOB OVERVIEW
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled post-doctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team for an exciting project focused on the biomechanical evaluation of cardiac valves. The project aims to assess stress and strain behavior of native and/or prosthetic heart valves through a combination of benchtop experimental testing and computational simulations (e.g. finite element analysis fluid-structure interaction).
This work will contribute to improving our understanding of valve biomechanics inform device design and support the development of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in cardiovascular medicine.
PRIMARY DUTIES
Design and conduct benchtop experiments to simulate physiological cardiac loading conditions.
Develop and validate computational models (FEA/FSI) of cardiac valves.
Integrate experimental data with simulation results to evaluate stress and strain distributions.
Collaborate with clinicians engineers and scientists across disciplines.
Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and present findings at conferences.
