Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d) part time 75%
Project B7 “Dynamics of electrical depolarization waves in the heart”
Organizational unit
Institute for Applied and Numerical Mathematics (IANM)
Job description
The CRC has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015. Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.
Project B7 “Dynamics of electrical depolarization waves in the heart” aims at modeling, characterizing, and numerically approximating depolarization wave patterns in the human heart. A major challenge is the deformation of the heart muscle within every heart beat and thus the reliable and efficient numerical approximation of the depolarization wave coupled with the heart contraction.
We seek an ambitious doctoral researcher with a strong interest in modelling and simulation of heart function. Your work will focus on the parallel numerical approximation extending our model realized in the parallel finite element system M++ and continue our interdisciplinary research at the interface between biomedical engineering and mathematics.
Starting date
as soon as possible
Personal qualification
The following qualifications are required seeking your consideration for this position:
- Excellent Master’s (or equivalent) degree in Numerical Mathematics or a related field
- Excellent writing and oral communication skills in English along with the ability to work independently within an international team.
- Programming skills and experience with the modeling and simulation of PDEs are a plus.
This is what we offer
Become a member of staff of the only German University of Excellence that conducts largescale research on the national level. Work under excellent working conditions in an international environment and be active in research and academic education for our future. Benefit from specific training when starting your job and from a wide range of further qualification offers. Use our flexible working time models (flexitime, work from home), our sports and leisure offers, as well as our child and holiday care services. We also pay a share of EUR 25/month in the Job Ticket Baden-Württemberg. Enjoy a large variety of dishes, snacks, and beverages at our canteens.
