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.
