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<http://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 _______________________________________ 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<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.weickenmeierlab.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cjweicken%40stevens.edu%7C6a4a5570c0744f173ed808d9db7ff581%7C8d1a69ec03b54345ae21dad112f5fb4f%7C0%7C0%7C637782165578063873%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=J3KbxGVk04z6JSIuCKYaN3g5%2BB%2BR5z%2FwjZt0blFclBg%3D&reserved=0>
