Job Details

Description of Post : A post-doc is wanted for a period of 24 months for the modelling team at the Liryc Institute of Cardiac Electrophysiology and Modelling (Liryc, https://www.ihu-liryc.fr/ ) Bordeaux.

Context: Liryc is an multidisciplinary research institue specializing in the study, diagnoses and treatment of disturbances of the cardiac electrical system, the origin of many cardiovascular diseases.

The institute houses more than 120 researchers and offers a research platform that is unique in Europe. It combines equipment and know-how in interventional cardiology, imaging, modelling and signal analysis, as well as providing training for students and researchers from around the world.

Le recruitment is financed by the Leducq Grant RHYTHM with a starting date in early 2019.

The research is centered on mechanisms underlying ventricular arrhythmias, especially with regard to repolarization issues and the Purkinje system. The candidate will build detailed, personalized computer models of the ventricles based on clinical data. The research is be part of a global consortium devoted to treating cardiac arrhythmias based on modelling, experiments, and advances in intelligent biocompatible devices.

Prinicipal Tasks

The project of the post-doctorant will be based on:
  • Constructing personalized computer models of the ventricles including a Purknije system
  • Determining conditions for the involvement of the Purkinje system in arrhythmia maintenance and development
  • Examining complexity during fibrillation initiation
