About this position
This postdoctoral project at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Department of Engineering focuses on the biological risk of accelerated intervertebral disc degeneration in population cohorts. The selected researcher will work with subjects from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort, generating intervertebral disc models and linking them with quantitative or semi-quantitative biological regulation models.
The research combines finite element simulations with morphometric and multi-omic data models to evaluate biological risk indices of disc degeneration. The work sits within the Interoperability and simulation workflows and Systemic modelling research packages of the ERC-CoG-O-Health-101044828 project.
This is a full-time postdoctoral research position in the Engineering Department at UPF in Barcelona.
