Austria: PhD Position, Computational Medicine

[administrator]

The Johannes Kepler University in Linz (Austria) is offering a PhD student position at the Institute for Mathematical Methods in Medicine and Data-Based Modeling for a duration of 3 years, starting as soon as possible. (https://www.jku.at/fileadmin/gruppen/188/Call_ECMOPT_10_2023.pdf)

The position is partly funded by the Linz Institute of Technology SeedMedPlus 2022 call as part of the project Next Generation Veno-Venous ECMO Via Flow Optimization, led by Prof. Dr. Luca Gerardo-Giorda from the Institute for Mathematical Methods in Medicine and Data- Based Modeling (M3DM) and by Prof. Dr. Jens Meier from the Department of Anaestesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (AICM) of the Kepler University Klinikum.

The PhD student will join M3DM and collaborate with AICM and the Mathematical Methods in Medicine and Life Sciences Group at RICAM, the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OAW). The goal of the project is the development of patient specific simulations to optimize the efficacy of Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), a well-established procedure used in Intensive Care Units (ICU) to treat patients with either pulmonary or circulatory failure.

We seek a profile with Master's degree in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science or similar. German language is not required for the job, and we highly welcome international applications. Scientific inquiries about the position can be directed to Prof. Dr. Luca Gerardo-Giorda (luca.gerardo-giorda@jku.at).

Applications containing a scientific CV, a short research statement, and references for possible recommendation letters should be sent via email to cornelia.strasser@jku.at indicating in the subject "PhD position application: ECMO".
