The Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Genoa is offering a post-doc position within the 2-years reasearch project PRIN 2022 PNRR “A digital framework for the cutting of soft tissues: A first step towards virtual surgery” focused on multiscale modeling of the complete cutting process in human brain tissues. The ideal candidate should have documented scientific experience in the study and development of physical-mathematical and computational models for describing the mechanics of soft tissues, and/or experiemce on peridynamic material modeling. The main objective of the work is to develop a constitutive correspondence framework to combine classical material models for brain tissues with the inherent capabilities of peridynamics to model (possibly evolving) discontinuities.
National coordinator (PI) of the PRIN project: Professor Vito Diana
Research Units: University of Genoa, Italy; University of Brescia, Italy; University of Padua, Italy
Net Salary: ~1750 Eur per month
