Deadline expired

2.5 years postdoc position in tissue microstructural modelling available immediately at Heriot-Watt University.

For more information about this post, please go to Link or contact me directly at  y.chen AT hw.ac.uk.

We would be pleased to have a contribution from you or from one of the members of your group among the presentations of the symposium entitled
COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS OF CELLS TISSUES  AND BIOMATERIALS
organized within the joint World Congress on Computational Mechanics and European Conference on Computational Mechanics (http://www.wccm-eccm-ecfd2014.org/frontal/default.asp )
to be held on 20-25 July 2014 in Barcelona (Spain).

I have a one-year vacant postdoc position. The work will be mostly related to development of FE models for modeling growth, differentiation, and adaptation of biological tissues. The postdoc needs to know a lot about nonlinear continuum mechanics and advanced material models and should be able to write FE codes and implement advanced material models in commercial FE programs.
