Dear all,

We are hiring a Senior Research Associate in Multiphysics Modeling of Brain Health at the University of Oxford. In this role, you will contribute to our work on predicting brain health outcomes across the lifecycle. The project aims to i) identify physiological manifestations and physics-based biomarkers that allow to differentiate between healthy and accelerated brain aging; ii) create and validate multiphysical constitutive models of cortical tissues degeneration during aging and injury; iii) utilize longitudinal medical image data to infer brain aging and injury mechanisms; and iv) study the potential relationship between exposure to head impacts and the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and related dementias later in life.

Join our growing team and take on responsibility in leading, devising, coordinating, and supervising research projects, establishing collaborations with project partners, mentoring junior researchers and students, and applying for funding to grow our research program.

This is a 2-year funded position with the possibility to extend. Application deadline is 16-June-2025. More information is available here: LINK

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions: Johannes.weickenmeier@eng.ox.ac.uk
