Postdoctoral Position Available: In Silico Simulations of Inhaled Aerosols

A postdoctoral position is available in our group for a highly determined and motivated researcher with a prominent interest in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The successful candidate will join the Technion Biofluids Laboratory to carry out numerical simulations in the broad areas of pulmonary transport and inhalation aerosols. The candidate will have the opportunity to apply CFD to a  wide range of respiratory flow problems and aerosol transport, focusing on targeted drug delivery. In parallel, the candidate will also have the opportunity to collaborate with several experimental in vitro activities carried in our group.

Background

We are seeking candidates with a background in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, transport phenomena, physics or similar, with experience in CFD/numerical simulations (including turbulent modeling): Fluent, OpenFOAM and Discrete Element Method (DEM), Python, C++, Fortran, Matlab programming skills. 

Contact

Interested candidates should submit (i) a letter of motivation, (ii) CV including Publication list and (iii) contact information of three references, to:
