The ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research is the University of Bern's transdisciplinary Center of Excellence for medical technology research.

Its mission is to tackle unmet clinical needs and envision future challenges in diagnosis, monitoring and treatment to create viable healthcare technology solutions with imagination, agility and purpose.

Its projects run from discovery and basic research to clinical translation.

Project background
Blood flow regulation is a fundamental mechanism for brain function. Moreover, impairments in regulation are associated with neurodegenerative diseases and, thus, are a crucial biomarker for diagnosis.

Datasets resolving the entire vasculature of the mouse brain offer the opportunity to study flow regulation in different brain areas and for varying disease states.

This requires innovative algorithms describing the vasodynamics causing increased blood perfusion (project 1) and automatic labeling of vascular structures in whole brain datasets (project 2).

Job description

Requirements:

PhD in computational sciences, engineering, or comparable in an interdisciplinary biomedical context.
Expertise in numerical modeling of physical and/or biological processes.
Strong analytical capabilities and excellent programming skills (python, git).
Knowledge about fluid dynamics, biomedical imaging, and brain physiology is considered a plus.
Strong interest in biomedical research and experience in leading interdisciplinary projects.
Excellent scientific track record and strong communication skills in English.
