Dear all,

We have a post-doc position available on our “white matter damage progression during healthy brain aging” project that is part of a U19 NIH-funded program investigating the Diverse Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (Diverse VCID) to improve meaningful diagnosis for people at risk for dementia: https://diversevcid.ucdavis.edu/

The work will take place within the Soft Tissue Biomechanics group led by Prof. Johannes Weickenmeier at Stevens Institute of Technology: www.weickenmeierlab.com.

This is a full-time position to work on developing computational models to predict deep white matter lesion formation and progression.

**Scientific Profile Requested**

Requirements: PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Maths, and related fields.

Skills and track-record:
* Constitutive modelling of soft tissues, numerical simulation, multiphysics modeling

* Analytical study of numerical simulations
* Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team.
* Ability to present and publish research outcomes in spoken (talks) and written (papers) form.
* Fluency in spoken and written English.

Scientific Profile:
The preferred candidate will have:  
* Strong background in computational mechanics, biophysics, and/or constitutive modeling
* Interest to work in interdisciplinary research at the interface of engineering, health, and medicine

Deadline: ASAP

Required Application Materials: CV

Looking forward to your applications,

Johannes Weickenmeier
