Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Vascular Computational Analysis

Posted by , on 1 October 2018

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

A postdoctoral fellow is sought to participate in a study to better understand the role of genetic changes on the development and dysfunction of cerebral vasculature. The successful candidate will work with Drs. Sarah Childs and Kristina Rinker, their teams and collaborators to advance our understanding of vascular dysfunction enabling future diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.  The project entails the use of imaging to capture vascular characteristics and further evaluation with computational tools for quantification of the effect of genetic changes on the architecture, wall properties and blood flow in models of genetic disease. The Childs labs has extensive experience in creation of genetic models in zebrafish. We seek a creative, energetic, and self-directed postdoc for a two year term as part of the University of Calgary Eyes High Postdoctoral Fellowship program. A PhD degree in biomedical engineering or similar field within the past 3 years is desired.  Experience in computational fluid dynamics required. Experience with cardiovascular systems, analysis of images, and machine learning is beneficial. Knowledge of developmental or vascular biology would be an asset.

We are located at the University of Calgary, in newly renovated labs within the Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute and in the Schulich School of Engineering. State of the art imaging and molecular biology facilities are available.

Interested candidates should send their CV, and a cover letter outlining their interests to Sarah Childs, schilds@ucalgary.ca. Review of applications will begin October 30th.
