About this position

Penn State College of Medicine is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Surgery, Division of Applied Biomedical Engineering, based in Hershey, PA, United States. The position is focused on the development of next-generation mechanical circulatory support devices, including a pediatric ventricular assist device (Child Pump) and continuous-flow blood pumps.

This opportunity is a strong fit for candidates with training in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and related areas such as turbomachinery, tribology, hydrodynamics, and computational modeling. The role involves designing and optimizing rotary blood pump components, running CFD and FSI simulations, conducting in vitro hydraulic and blood-based testing, supporting large-animal in vivo studies, analyzing data, writing manuscripts, presenting conference results, contributing to grant applications, and mentoring students.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a recent PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Required or strongly preferred experience includes mechanical circulatory support systems, rotary blood pump development, CAD tools such as SolidWorks, and simulation software such as CONVERGE, ANSYS Fluent, and ABAQUS.

Funding and appointment: this is a full-time term postdoctoral position. The posting notes that continuation beyond the term depends on university need, performance, and/or availability of funding. Penn State provides employee benefits, but no specific salary or stipend amount is listed.

How to apply: apply online through Penn State Workday as an external applicant unless you are a current Penn State employee or current Penn State student, who must use the internal application process. Submit a detailed CV and 2–3 references.
