[Mario Storti]

Post-doctoral fellowships at Computational Imaging Lab, Barcelona, Spain 

Computational Imaging Lab 
Pompeu Fabra University 
Barcelona, Spain 

The Computational Imaging Lab at the Pompeu Fabra University in
Barcelona provides an exciting environment for PhD students and
postdoctoral fellows.  High quality research and the vibrant
international atmosphere combine to ensure that fellows have access to
all they need at this critical career stage.

CILab provides opportunities to pursue interdisciplinary research and
to acquire a broad perspective on medical problems and the
technological approaches that can be used to address them.

CILab research focuses on algorithmic and applied research in the area
of computational imaging, modelling and simulation. In particular,
medical image segmentation, statistical shape modelling and analysis,
computational geometry, pattern recognition and image-based and
personalised computational mechanics are among the Lab's areas of
expertise.

CILab seeks proactive and talented young post-doctoral researchers
with proven track record of publications in leading international
journals and conferences. Candidates should be creative, have the
ability to carry out independent research and interact within an
international research team. We are interested in individuals with
excellent communication and leadership skills, able to effectively
collaborate with fellow colleagues and contribute to the visibility of
the Lab in the international scientific community.

The ability to work in a multidisciplinary team and be able to
interact with other disciplines is essential.

Title: Post-doctoral fellows in computational cardiac electromechanics 

Job description: This post is connected to a national technology
platform funded by the Ministry of Industry that aims at applying
computational imaging and simulation technologies to patient selection
and interventional planning in cardiac resynchronization therapy. Our
aim is to develop dynamic anatomical models of the whole heart as well
as to derive boundary conditions and material properties from
multimodal imagery (e.g. 3D US, MRI, MSCT, SPECT). Integration of all
this information will be performed by combination of computational
imaging tools with computational mechanics in order to deliver
advanced diagnosis and personalized treatment planning and
optimization.

The candidate will have to interact with members of the lab of related
topics as well as with our clinical collaborators at several academic
hospitals in Barcelona.

Candidate expected skills: Candidates must hold a PhD degree and
should have expertise in computational cardiac modelling and
simulation, and in particular in cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac
mechanics, and computational fluid dynamics. Specifically, the
following skills will be expected:

- Strong background in mathematics, and in particular calculus, is
desired to cope with modelling based on differential equations and
derived formulations.

- Programming skills in C++ are mandatory since it is expected that
candidate is able to implement all the models developed in the
lab. Matlab programming knowledge will be desirable.

- Finite element modelling knowledge is also required, and previous
experience in this area will be highly valued.

- Proficiency in spoken and written English is compulsory.

Contract: An initial contract of 2 year will be offered to the
successful candidate. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances
at the time of review.

Title: Post-Doctoral fellow in mesh generation and vascular haemodynamics

Job description: This post is connected to a national technology
platform funded by the Ministry of Industry that aims at applying
computational imaging and simulation technologies to diagnostic and
interventional planning of intracranial aneurysms. The objective is to
develop innovative technologies for the investigation of aneurysm
morphology, morphodynamics, biomechanics and haemodynamics computed
from subject-specific vascular models. The main focus of the research
will be in computational methods for vascular grid generation and
haemodynamic simulation.

The candidate will have to interact with members of the lab working on
related topics as well as with our clinical collaborators at several
academic hospitals in Barcelona and in Europe.

Candidate expected skills: Candidates must hold a PhD degree and have
expertise in computational vascular modelling and simulation, and in
particular in mathematical modelling, numerical methods, finite
element grid generation, and CFD simulation techniques. Specifically,
the following skills will be expected:

- Strong background in mathematics and numerical methods is required.

- Knowledge and experience with finite element modelling and
computational methods for physiological flow modelling is also
required.

- Good knowledge of fluid dynamics phenomena in complex vascular
geometries will be highly valued.

- Experience with open-source mesh generation and CFD simulation
packages are desirable.

- Programming skills in C++ are mandatory.

- Proficiency in spoken and written English is compulsory.

Contract: An initial contract of 2 year will be offered to the successful
candidate. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at the time of
review.
