Post Doc Position in Cardiovascular and Respiratory Physiological Modeling for Critical Care 70%

The Cardiopulmonary Physiology And Mechanical Support (CPAMS) Research Group offers this position at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (DBE) at the University of Basel. The DBE is jointly run by the University of Basel and the University and University Children's Hospitals Basel and combines teaching and research at the interface between natural sciences and medicine in translational biomedical engineering research.
The CPAMS Research Group is looking for a dynamic and independent post-doc interested in computational modelling of cardiovascular and respiratory physiology to improve understanding of critical care physiology and mechanical circulatory support.
