Postdoc Position in Computational Research

Postdoctoral position

RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

Description:
The Advanced Computational Research Laboratory (http://acor. rpi.edu), affiliated with the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites applications for a postdoctoral research position to work in the area of in vivo / in situ soft tissue mechanical property estimation and modeling.

The overall goal of this research, funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering of the NIH is to develop real time computer simulation technology that will vastly improve how surgeons are trained to perform surgery. This technology will be based on advanced computational algorithms and physical modeling. Interested candidates may apply to Professor Suvranu De (des@rpi.edu) with a cover letter, detailed CV, a copy of the publication deemed as best representative of the candidate´s creative research, and names and email addresses of three
referees. Applications from minority and women are especially encouraged. RPI is an Equal opportunity/ Affirmative Action employer.
