Postdoctoral Position at Stevens in Multiphysics Brain Aging Modeling
by Johannes Weickenmeier Oct. 18, 2023

Oct. 18, 2023

Hello everyone. A postdoctoral position in “Multiphysics Brain Aging Modeling” is available in the group of Prof. Johannes Weickenmeier at Stevens Institute of Technology right outside New York City (www.weickenmeierlab.com<http://www.weickenmeierlab.com/>). The Soft Matter Biomechanics Lab combines experimental methods to biomechanically characterize brain tissue properties and various computational modeling techniques (e.g. finite element analysis, multiphysics modeling, medical image analysis) with the ultimate goal to better understand healthy brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Our constitutive aging and Alzheimer’s disease models couple neurobiology and mechanics (i.e. morphological shape changes and tissue loading) in order to identify abnormal aging patterns and brain regions at risk of developing secondary damage, such as white matter hyperintensities, hypoperfusion, traumatic injury, and vascular degeneration. We validate our models against longitudinal imaging data from databases such as the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). We are looking for applications with prior experience in advanced medical image analysis, data analysis, and modeling. Knowledge in the biology of aging is a significant advantage. The research will be performed at the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology right outside of New York. The position is funded through a grant from the NIH. The position is available immediately. To apply, please contact Prof. Johannes Weickenmeier(johannes.weickenmeier(a)stevens.edu). Best wishes, Johannes Weickenmeier _______________________________________ Johannes Weickenmeier, PhD, Assistant Professor and Director of the Center for Neuromechanics Stevens Institute of Technology | Department of Mechanical Engineering | phone: 201-216-5527 | pronouns: he/him/his | Soft Matter Biomechanics: www.weickenmeierlab.com<http://www.weickenmeierlab.com/>

postdoc at SISSA: How come my tongue got stuck?
by Alessandro Treves Oct. 16, 2023

Oct. 16, 2023

New research in our limbo group (Ryom and Treves, Phys Rev X Life, 2023, and unpublished) and extensive data on language parameters collected by Longobardi and collaborators (Ceolin et al, Phil Trans Roy Soc B, 2021) suggest that language diversity may reflect the disordered freezing dynamics that in a spin glass leads to a multiplicity of ground states. In a simplified model, vectors of binary syntactic parameters interact via strong asymmetric logical implications and weak partly symmetric influences, which can produce critical slowing down through a novel mechanism of percolated freezing. A postdoc position is available at SISSA, in Trieste, to carry this project further into uncharted territory, see https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03152. Whatever their background, candidates should be keen to develop new mathematical and computational statistical approaches to evolutionary neuro-linguistics and enjoy learning about issues and narratives in scientific communities other than their own. A formal call with deadline Dec 10th, 2023 will be issued shortly. Meanwhile, check https://people.sissa.it/~ale/limbo.html and write to ale(a)sissa.it<mailto:ale@sissa.it> for inquiries. ---------------------------------------------- Alessandro Treves Liminar Investigations of Memory and Brain Organization Cognitive Neuroscience, SISSA, Trieste, Italy +39 349 2504602 http://people.sissa.it/~ale/limbo.html
