At the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Institute of General Electrical Engineering, Chair of Theoretical Electrical Engineering, we are filling the following position for a limited full stop of 20 months at the earliest possible date, subject to the allocation of funds, for the duration of the SynergisticEffectBoneMaterial project:
Research Assistant (m/f/d)
EG 13 TV-L, full-time employment, 40 hours/week, limited, project position
The research is carried out within the framework of the project, “Investigating the synergistic effects of spatially resolved biochemical, physicochemical, and physical key stimuli to generate biomimetic niches in perfusion bioreactor and their proficiency to derive large bone-like constructs,” funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). Further information: Artificial bone generation in bioreactor - Institut für Allgemeine Elektrotechnik - Universität Rostock (uni-rostock.de)
Tasks and Responsibilities
- support the project partners in the development of a new stimulation setup through numerical simulations
- build a multi-scale mathematical model to facilitate:
- a better understanding of electric field interactions with variable bone constructs in the bioreactor
- its effects on stem cell differentiation over time
An effective range of electric field parameters for chondrogenic/osteogenic differentiation should be identified using the numerical simulations and accompanying experimental validations. The project team member will work closely with our project partners from TU Dresden. The research results shall be presented in the form of oral presentations and documented in the form of reports and publications.
Requirements
- completed university studies (diploma, master's degree or comparable degree) in computational (science and) engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, physics, biomathematics or comparable with good grades
- preferably a doctorate in one of the subjects mentioned above with good grades
- desirable are proven experience at universities or research institutions in the scientific field
- experience in interdisciplinary research and medicine
- excellent knowledge of Python programming
- experience in numerical simulation/modelling
- desirable is experience in multi-scale modelling
- good command of the English Language and good English writing skills are mandatory, record of quality publications
- working on new topics, and an independent way of working and being proactive
- willingness to work seriously and be committed to a project
Our offer
- Employment relationship in accordance with the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service of the Federal States (TV-L) with the employer Land Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, represented by the University of Rostock
