Postdoctoral position within the ERC Starting Grant Modeling and Simulation of Cancer Growth
Job
A full-time post-doctoral position is available within the ERC Starting Grant Project MuSIC -- Modeling and Simulation of Cancer Growth, which is led by Prof. Hector Gomez. The general goal of the project is to develop biophysical models to predict cancer growth.
Requirements
The successful applicant will have a strong background on Medical Image Processing and the Finite Element Method or, preferably Isogeometric Analysis. Knowledge about the biology of cancer, and cancer modeling is desirable.
Benefits
Crack thickness
Macroscopic
cracks do not appear as a result of an ideal separation of two adjacent atomic
layers. Just the opposite, cracks appear as a result of the development of
multiple micro-cracks triggered by the massive breakage of atomic bonds. The microcracking
and the bond breakage are not confined to two neighbor atomic planes: the
process involves thousands atomic planes within the representative characteristic
volume of size h. This size defines the width (not the lenth) of the damage
localization zone and it can be called the crack thickness. The knowledge of
