The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), Austria’s leading non-university research and science institution in Applied Mathematics, is offering a
PHD STUDENT POSITION in Mathematical Methods in Medicine and Life Sciences (F/M/X)
(full-time, 30h per week)
Ihr Aufgabenbereich
The position is offered initially for 1 year with the possibility of an extension.
The position is funded by the FFG Bridge project “Advanced Modelling of Pulse Field Ablation to Augment Cardiac Digital Twins for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation” led by Dr. Argyrios Petras, in collaboration with the industrial partner NumeriCor GmbH.
The student will join the Mathematical Methods in Medicine and Life Sciences Group at RICAM, located in Linz/Austria, and will work on the development of mathematical models for cardiac pulse field ablation and their validation with tailored experimental data. The successful candidate is expected to perform numerical simulations using the finite element method on geometries reconstructed from medical imaging data, using proprietary software from NumeriCor GmbH.
