PhD Project / Cardiff University / University of Luxembourg

Synopsys NE Ltd (https://www.synopsys.com/simpleware.html), Cardiff University and University of Luxembourg invites applications for 2 Early Stage Researcher position (Doctoral Candidate) as part of the Rapid Biomechanics and Simulation for Personalized Clinical Design (RAINBOW) MCSA European Training Network. RAINBOW is funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.

The post holder will be employed on a fixed term (36-month contract) and be principally based at the Synopsys-Simpleware offices in Exeter UK but will also be enrolled as a full time graduate student at either Cardiff University (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/) or University of Luxembourg and will be undertaking research towards a PhD degree award. The candidate will be expected to spend periods of time in Cardiff or Luxembourg as well as with other partners in the consortium.

The post holders will develop numerical methods at the intersection between machine learning, biomechanical simulations and image processing. In particular, they will contribute to bridging the gap between advanced 3D imaging techniques and physics-based computer simulations in order to improve current capabilities in the area of computer-aided diagnostic and surgical planning. A thorough knowledge of software development is essential.

This is a full time (37.5 hours per week) position on a fixed term basis for a fixed-term of 36 months. Strong programming and analytical skills are required. Same advanced knowledge in computational physics or mechanics woud be a plus. Applications including a CV and a cover letter are required no later than 18/03/2019.
