Postdoc in Cardiac Growth and Remodeling Models for Virtual Human Twins Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

Postdoc opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Mechanical Engineering. This opening is for a postdoctoral researcher to work on cardiac growth and remodeling models for the next generation of virtual human twins. The project sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, biomechanics, computational cardiac biophysics, and machine learning.

The role is described as a full-time postdoc position within the EU-funded VITAL Horizon Europe project. The research focus is on developing mechanobiological models that can capture how the heart changes over months to years, rather than just a single beat. This suggests a strong emphasis on long-term predictive modeling, tissue mechanics, and computational simulation.

Ideal background: fluency in nonlinear mechanics, finite element modeling, and scientific software development. The post highlights a candidate who is comfortable working between tensors, code, and biomechanics. Experience relevant to cardiac mechanics, mechanobiology, and computational modeling would be highly aligned.

Host / supervisor: Mathias Peirlinck, Associate Professor at TU Delft, working in in silico medicine, virtual human twins, soft tissue biomechanics, computational cardiac biophysics, and machine learning.

Application: use the provided application link to apply. No deadline is stated in the post.
