Postdoc Position (f/m/x) - RICAM

The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), Austria’s leading non-university research and science institution in Applied Mathematics, is offering a

POSTDOC POSITION (F/M/X)

in the Mathematical Methods in Medicine and Life Sciences Group

(full-time, 40h per week)

The position is offered initially for 1 year with the possibility of an extension for another year.

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 postdoc 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.

• PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics or closely related field
• Experience in mathematical models for medical applications (desirable experience in cardiac electrophysiology models)
• Experience in segmentation of medical images
• Experience with Python and/or C++ programming languages
• Familiarity or experience with OpenCARP software (desirable)

• Excellent opportunities to work in a lively research environment and collaborate with inter- national experts in the field
