美国阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校医学院综合心血管中心博士后招聘

A postdoctoral position in the Comprehensive Cardiovascular Center and Division of Cardiovascular Disease, School of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is available immediately. The position involves development and application of multi-scale computational models for the study of complex cardiac mechanical, metabolic, and electrophysiological systems. The overall goal of this project is to understand the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and associated oxidative stress in the development of cardiac diseases such as ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research, the successful candidate will have the opportunities to learn and perform in vitro/in vivo experiments such as patch clamp and optical mapping in the PI and/or the collaborator’s laboratories for model validation and hypothesis testing.

Qualifications include PhD in bioengineering/biomedical engineering or other relevant areas of engineering and biomedical sciences. The ideal candidates should have strong research background in computer modeling and simulation of biological systems with interests in cardiovascular disease and computational method developments. Previous experience in scientific programming, computational modeling, continuum model (such as Finite Element Method), network model or parallel computing, and familiarity with UNIX/Linux operating system are highly desirable. Working experience in cardiac electrophysiology and high-resolution imaging is plus.

UAB is a major research university and academic health center that discovers, teaches and applies knowledge for the intellectual, cultural, social and economic benefit of Birmingham, the state and the nation. The UAB faculty is renowned for its excellence in interdisciplinary research programs.
