Postdoctoral research fellow in tissue mechanics modeling at NYU-Poly / NYU

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position which will be joint between the Computational Mechanics Laboratory within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at NYU-Poly and the Division of Cardiology at NYU School of Medicine. The selected postdoctoral fellow will participate in a vibrant interdisciplinary research group and will be involved in a research effort which aims to construct multiscale models of the mechano-fluidic behavior of the aortic heart valve. This research involves collaborations between basic science researchers and clinical investigators.

Requirements:

1. Ph.D. in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, computational biology, computational materials science or a related field.
2. Experience in at least two of the following areas: finite element modeling, computational fluid dynamics, tissue engineering, or molecular mechanics modeling.
3. Experience in scientific computing (Fortran, C, or C++ programming, parallel computing, and Unix/Linux computing environments).
4. Strong verbal and written communication skills.
5. Demonstrated ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary research environment.

The initial appointment will be for one year, with a possibility of renewal contingent upon the availability of continuing funding and satisfactory performance.
