Are you interested in working for a world top 100 University? An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Department of Mechanical Engineering for a self-motivated post-doctoral researcher. You will join the Institute for in silico Medicine (Insigneo) working on a recently awarded EPSRC project, CompBioMedX: Computational Biomedicine at the Exascale which is led by Dr Marzo at the University of Sheffield. The University of Sheffield will contribute to this project in partnership with other collaborating UK and international institutions, including clinical centres and industry.

You will work on the adaptation of existing experimental equipment for the characterization of blood flows within the human cerebral circulation and will support the development and validation of existing simulation tools over a range of HPC platforms to provide efficient simulation tools for end-users from the academic, clinical and industrial sectors.

Applicants will have a good undergraduate honours degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics (or equivalent experience) and a PhD in Biomechanics for Bioengineering. The post holder will have expertise in experimental blood flow characterization in vascular networks using techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV), from the initial stages of setting up the experimental rig through the use the equipment for the acquisition and post-processing of the images for the reconstructions of the velocity fields. The post-holder will also have experience in liaising with computational modellers for the validation of the acquired and modelled data.

As a Post-doctoral Research Associate you will conduct your research activity with a certain level of independence, aim to publish your work in high-quality peer-reviewed journals and attend conferences and seminars.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
