Le descriptif de l’offre ci-dessous est en Anglais

Type de contrat : CDD

Contrat renouvelable : Oui

Niveau de diplôme exigé : Thèse ou équivalent

Fonction : Post-Doctorant

Contexte et atouts du poste

Within the framework of the ERC grant MoDeLLiver and a partnership with several hospitals, a reduced model of hemodynamics focusing on liver and the lung diseases is needed to understand their interactions, as in a number of diseases or their treatment, hemodynamics alterations in one organ has consequences on the other one.

Regular meetings with medical teams at the hospitals in the region Ile-de-France will thus be warranted.

Mission confiée

Assignments :
The recruited person will have to 1) understand the medical state of the art about liver and lung interactions in certain diseases, 2) analyse the corresponding state of the art on the modelling side, 3) enrich a model of hemodynamics in the entire circulation for the pulmonary circulation and interaction phenomena, 4) establish with clinicians and answer the more precise biomedical questions on lung and liver disease development or treatment interaction

Collaboration :
The recruited person will be in connection with clinicians for the relevance of the model, data availibility & uncertainty and discussing the results.

Responsibilities :
The person recruited is responsible for model development and its applicability to answer clinical questions.
