Dear Colleagues,

A fully funded PhD position for four years is available in the Computational
Physiology group of the University of Twente, The Netherlands (https://jainka.github.io). The project involves study of microspheres transport in the liver vasculature as  a means to cure liver tumours. A computational model within the Lattice  Boltzmann framework will be developed in the PhD project to enable simulation of particle transport in complex anatomical geometries. Simulations will eventually be carried out on high performance computing resources.

The candidate will collaborate with two other PhD candidates within the consortium who will respectively perform experimental and clinical studies.  The Radboud University Medical Center will be one of the main partners for the design and analysis of studies.

The applicants must hold a master's degree in Physics or Engineering  preferably with a focus on Computational Sciences. Programming  expertise, thorough understanding of fluid mechanics and exposure to HPC resources are highly desirable. The candidate must be excited to work in an interdisciplinary environment and willing to contribute to medicine using engineering and physics. Salary and other benefits including holiday allowance, vacation days and end of year bonus are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities.
For further information, or to apply, please send the usual documents to
