Projects will be centered around:-Developing and applying open-source Multiphysics methods to cardiac valves.-Designing numerical approaches to evaluate and compare surgical treatments for congenital heart valve disease.A successful candidate will become part of an interdisciplinary team with expertise in image processing, experimental and computational biomechanics, and congenital heart disease. Strong communication and organizational skills, expertise in software development and numerical methods, and familiarity with major Open-Source software tools in the field such as FEBio are preferred.Applicants must have a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree (or expect to defend in the near future)in bioengineering, mechanical engineering, and/or a related field; an excellent background in mathematics and computational sciences; and a strong track record of independent research in biomechanics.The group is involved in many exciting image-based modeling projects, including development of novel analysis methodologies; application of the state-of-the-art techniques to clinical studies; and translational research. The Fellow will be supported by a lab consisting of research assistants, mechanical engineers, masters and PhD level research software developers, and clinical collaborators within the Center for Pediatric Heart Valve Disease at CHOP. This environment will allow the Fellow to focus on the application of biomechanics rather than acquiring data or maintaining image processing infrastructure. The Jolley Labis a leader in development and dissemination of Open-Source pediatric cardiac image analysis applications (Slicer Heart, 3D Slicer).CHOP is located in Philadelphia, a vibrant city that offers many professional and cultural opportunities. They foster a friendly, noncompetitive, collaborative environment where each individual member of the laboratory is able to thrive, while also effectively contributing to the collaboration's overall programmatic aims.
