Demonstrated research excellence through publications for postdoc applicants in one of the following areas: Experimental fluid mechanics and advanced flow visualization techniques (e.g., Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), flow imaging, or related experimental methods). Fluid-structure interaction (FSI), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), or multiphysics simulations, with strong programming and computational skills. Scientific machine learning, including physics-informed neural networks, operator-learning methods, surrogate modeling, and data-driven modeling of physical systems. Preferred Qualifications Experience conducting research in physiological fluid mechanics and cardiovascular flow systems. Experience contributing to competitive research grant proposals Experience in innovation-driven technology development, intellectual property generation, or commercialization activities (e.g., invention disclosures or patent applications). Strong mentoring skills and a demonstrated ability to supervise graduate students and undergraduate researchers. Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary research teams. What We Offer Opportunities to work on high-impact projects at the intersection of cardiovascular biomechanics, artificial intelligence, and translational medicine. Access to state-of-the-art computational and experimental research facilities. Extensive collaborations with leading clinicians, researchers, and medical device companies. A highly interdisciplinary and supportive research environment with strong opportunities for career development in academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. Application Instructions: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will remain open until all positions are filled.
