The Artificial Intelligence and Modeling Lab for Cardiovascular Diseases
(AIMCardio Lab) at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute currently offers two
Postdoc positions. We are seeking highly motivated, dependable, and enthusiastic
candidates with a passion for fluid-structure interaction—both computational and
experimental—and its applications in cardiovascular diseases and medical
devices. The initial appointment is for one year, with the potential for renewal
based on satisfactory performance. The successful candidate is expected to
commit to a minimum of two years.
The Artificial Intelligence and Modeling Lab for Cardiovascular Diseases
(AIMCardio Lab) focuses on fluid-structure interaction (both computational and
experimental) and its applications in cardiovascular diseases and medical
devices. We have established long-standing collaborations with leading U.S.
hospitals (e.g., Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Boston Children’s
Hospital, UMass Chan Medical School, Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, Geisinger
Medical Center) and prominent medical device companies (e.g., Abbott, Edwards
Lifesciences, Boston Scientific, Medtronic). You can find more information about
our latest research here: AIMCardioLab.wpi.edu.
