Job description

JOB TITLE

Temporary Research Assistant in Physiological Fluid Mechanics

LOCATION

Worcester

DEPARTMENT NAME

Biomedical Engineering - JM

DIVISION NAME

Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPI

JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

The Artificial Intelligence and Modeling Laboratory for Cardiovascular Diseases (AIMCardio Lab) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is seeking applications for two temporary research assistant positions. We are looking for highly motivated, collaborative, and enthusiastic researchers with expertise in fluid-structure interaction, computational and experimental fluid mechanics, and/or scientific machine learning, with applications to cardiovascular diseases and medical devices. The initial appointment is forone year, with the possibility of renewal based on performance and funding availability. Successful candidates are expected to commit to aminimum two-year appointment.

JOB DESCRIPTION

AIMCardio Lab

The lab conducts cutting-edge research incomputational and experimental fluid-structure interaction, cardiovascular biomechanics, digital health, and AI-driven modeling. The laboratory maintains long-standing collaborations with leading hospitals and medical centers across the United States, including the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto), Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Philadelphia), and Columbia University Irving Medical Center (New York). We also collaborate closely with major medical device companies, including Abbott, Edwards Lifesciences, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic, to develop next-generation cardiovascular technologies and translational solutions. More information about our research can be found at:AIMCardioLab.wpi.edu

Required Qualifications
