Beschreibung
Research Assistant (f/m/d) Project B7 "Dynamics of electrical depolarization waves in the heart"


Organisationseinheit:

Institut für Analysis (IANA)


Ihre Aufgaben:


The Collaborative Research Center "Wave phenomena - analysis and numerics" (CRC 1173) has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015.

Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.

We seek an ambitious doctoral researcher with a strong interest both in theoretical and practical aspects of cardiac electrophysiology.

Your work will focus on numerical characterization of the reentrant reaction eikonal scheme for precise computation of activation times in the openCARP electrophysiology simulator as well as on the identification of the spatial distribution of clinically relevant cardiac tissue parameters through physics-informed neural networks.

You will have the opportunity to attend conferences, workshops, and summer schools. Engagement in teaching is encouraged.

In close collaboration with the partners at KIT's Institute for Applied and Numerical Mathematics, you will drive interdisciplinary research at the interface between biomedical engineering and mathematics.


You are an open and ambitious team player happy to take responsibility and motivated to strive for creative, open, and sustainable solutions.

We provide a cooperative and communication-oriented environment in the Computational Cardiac Modeling group at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering.

The CRC is an inspiring, attractive, interdisciplinary, and internationally recognized scientific environment with access to excellent facilities of the KIT, a wide scope of advanced training options within our integrated research training group, and flexible working time models.

Our CRC aims at the implementation of equal opportunities, it promotes diversity and supports persons with childcare or eldercare responsibilities as well as persons with disabilities.

Funds for travel and guests are available through the CRC.
