Simula Research Laboratory

Open Application

&lt;p&gt;Simula Research Laboratory seeks applicants for a PhD position offered as part of a larger collaborative PhD programme between Simula, the University of Oslo (UiO), and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The SUURPh (the Simula-UiO-UCSD Research and PhD training) programme, and more details can be found on the programme &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.simula.no/education/research-exchanges/suurph&quot;&gt;home page&lt;/a&gt;. You can read about ongoing SUURPh projects &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.simula.no/education/research-exchanges/suurph/suurph-projects&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Job description&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This PhD project focuses on&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;computational approaches for monitoring and prognosis of single ventricle disorder&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and a detailed project description can be found &lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/file/d/14FJlT20U45Q0a2Y8iEIvdHBLieaaj3e1/view?usp=drive_link&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The PhD project aims to complete an automated deep-learning-powered shape modeling pipeline for cardiac single ventricle disorders (SVD). This work will investigate the highly heterogeneous population of SVD patients, leveraging magnetic resonance datasets and advanced computational techniques. The project aims to train deep neural networks to learn diastolic and systolic myocardial material properties from measured cardiac shapes, motions and hemodynamics, and use them to compute end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) stress and strain distributions. These outputs can lend needed insight into diverse phenotypes within the SVD populations, to ultimately assist with clinical prognostics and planning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All SUURPh projects fall within the scope of computational biology and medicine. Thus, Simula is seeking motivated and independent students from a wide range of training backgrounds, but particularly with a strong working knowledge in &lt;em&gt;applied mathematics&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;machine learning, and/or bioengineering&lt;/em&gt; to take up this doctoral fellowship.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The duration of SUURPh doctoral fellowships can be 3 or 4 years, and the time of initiation may vary but can begin as early as 1 September 2025. SUURPh fellows are enrolled as PhD students at the University of Oslo.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a SUURPh fellow at Simula, you will work closely with your primary SUURPh supervisors in Oslo and at UCSD, and undertake coursework and training related to computational biology and medicine. The majority of work will be focused on computational approaches to major questions in biology and medicine. As such, development of mathematical and computational techniques for analysing and reducing complex experimental data will be a common application for SUURPh fellows, as will be development of complex and sometimes large numerical simulations of biological or medical systems. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Teamwork is an important feature of the Simula working environment, and all SUURPh fellows will be expected to conduct themselves in an engaged and participatory way with their peers and colleagues at Simula.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An additional unique feature of the SUURPh programme is that SUURPh fellows will be required to conduct a portion of their doctoral research in San Diego. As such, all applicants should be prepared and eager to spend a portion of their degree (generally 6 months – 1 year) at UCSD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is strongly recommended that applicants have a strong background in programming and the mathematical/quantitative sciences. &lt;strong&gt;Beyond these general recommendations, the following requirements apply:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Completion of Masters in an appropriate field for the project of interest &lt;br&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Suitable academic performance in Masters and undergraduate coursework (grade minima: “C” average during BSc, “B” average during MSc, according to the Norwegian grading system). &lt;br&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Strong quantitative and analytical skills&lt;br&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Experience in developing software or analysis tools for biological or medical applications is an advantage&lt;br&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Good knowledge of the scientific field addressed by the project of interest is desirable&lt;br&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Good communication and interpersonal skills are necessary&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We offer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An excellent environment and outstanding opportunities for performing high quality research as part of a highly competent, motivated and enthusiastic team of researchers and engineers.&lt;/li&gt;
