Job Details
The Post
The post holder will work the modelling and simulation of cell mechanotransduction osteocyte network to control osteoblast and osteoclast activation in bone under physiological and pathological conditions. A modelling approach will be taken to simulate the influence of the mechanical stimuli within the osteocyte network on the activation of ion and molecular pathways that control calcium release. The models will be integrated into a hypermodelling framework that consists of several sub-models at various scales (cell, tissue, organ, body) so that an overall musculoskeletal model can be generated.
Requirements
Applicants should hold a PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines and be familiar with modelling of cells and the musculoskeletal system. The post is full-time and fixed term for 2 years.
