| 38 – 40 hr. | Salary gross/monthly based on full-time € 2,770 – € 3,539 | 30 Jun 2024 |
Study Area:
Cardiorespiratory Physiology, Critical Care, Computational Modelling, Simulation
Scholarship Description:
The Cardiovascular & Respiratory Physiology (CRPH) group of the University of Twente is looking for a PhD-candidate in a collaboration project with the Med-tech company Getinge AB, Sweden. In this 4-year project, you will use computational modelling and simulations to create clinical decision support tools that will ultimately improve the daily care for critically ill patients. The focus of this ground-breaking research is on better understanding of heart-lung interactions and possible applications in acute and critical care (anaesthesiology and intensive care). In this project, 0-D computational models of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems including mechanical support will be used to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
Eligibility:
We look for a highly motivated, enthusiastic PhD candidate who is driven by curiosity and has:
- or will shortly acquire, a Master degree, or equivalent, in Technical Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, (applied) Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
- experience with programming, modelling, and simulation (e.g., C++, Matlab, Python, LabVIEW).
- excellent analytical skills and problem-solving attitude.
- knowledge and interest in cardiorespiratory physiology and critical care is meritorious.
- previous research experience and scientific publications are meritorious.
- a team player spirit and likes to work in an interdisciplinary and international environment.
- excellent communication skills.
- proficiency in English.
