About the Role

This position investigates the interplay between stochasticity of calcium dynamics and excitation propagation in the heart, focusing on reentry or spiral rotors, within a DFG-funded project in collaboration with HU Berlin / MDC.

Responsibilities

• Extend EMI model implementation in the Kaskade 7 finite element package for inclusion of more complex ionic models and statistical models of calcium dynamics.
• Conduct simulations in different regimes and extract relevant correlations.
• Publish findings in international journals.
• Present findings at conferences.

Requirements

• A completed master’s degree (or equivalent) in computer science, mathematics, or related disciplines, or equivalent knowledge and experience acquired through relevant professional experience.
• Proficiency in modern C++ software development including template programming.
• Practical experience with the implementation of numerical algorithms for partial differential equations (finite element methods, iterative solvers, Runge-Kutta time stepping) and corresponding software, in particular the DUNE libraries.
• Detailed knowledge of electrophysiology models, in particular stochastic calcium dynamics.
• Proven ability for international and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Good command of written and spoken English.
