Open PhD position in physically-based simulation at Innsbruck University

The Interactive Graphics and Simulation Group, established in 2014 at Innsbruck University, Austria, invites applications for the position of a PhD student with focus on biomechanical tissue simulation, with an application in surgical planning.

We are seeking a motivated and talented PhD student with interest and skill in tissue deformation simulation and biomechanical modelling. The activity will be carried out in the context of improving planning for forearm surgery, by analyzing and simulating anatomical structures relevant for distal stability during pro-supination. The work will be performed within the scope of a collaborative Swiss-Austrian research project.

The position is open immediately until filled. It is offered on the level of a non-permanent university research student for three years.

Candidates should send electronically an application with letter of motivation, complete CV, grades and transcripts, relevant certificates, and possible links to relevant prior publications via email. The compiled material should be sent in PDF format to:
