ERC RealTCut biomechanics post-doctoral opportunity

POSITION We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow for a duration of 12 to 23 months, available immediately at the University of Luxembourg, in collaboration with Cardiff University. Gross Salary 68,000EUR per annum.

AIM The main aim of the post-doc is to simulate fracture and cutting of soft tissues over multiple scales. We are looking for someone with a strong mechanics and applied mathematics background and excellent coding skills. The successful individual will join a group of 10 post-doctoral fellows at UL and a team of 15 at Cardiff University, where she/he will have ample opportunities to travel.

ERC Starting Grants aim to support up-and-coming research leaders who are about to establish or consolidate a proper research
team and to start conducting independent research in Europe. The scheme targets promising researchers who have the proven
potential of becoming independent research leaders. It will support the creation of excellent new research teams and will strengthen others that have been recently created.” http://erc.europa.eu/starting-grants

Objectives The main objective of this ERC Project is to enable faithful simulations of surgical cutting in (quasi-) real-time.
