In this project, you will join an international team of researchers who are developing a digital twin of the urinary bladder. The position is funded as part of the US NIH-R01 funded project in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh. “A Digital Twin for Designing Bladder Treatment informed by Bladder Outlet Obstruction Mechanobiology (BOOM).” 

This is a multidisciplinary project involving state-of-the-art in silico, in vitro and in vivo investigations to quantify the biomechanics/mechanobiology of the urinary bladder in response to outlet obstruction. Your role will involve developing virtual reality/augmented reality models of the bladder that account for its microstructure and composition, synthesising data from multiple imaging modalities. 

We are looking for strong candidates with a BSc in Computer Science and experience of mathematical/computational modelling of physiology. You will join the group of Professor Paul Watton and collaborate with investigators at the University of Pittsburgh. 

On appointment, you will become a research staff member of the Complex Systems Group in the Department of Computer Science and an associate member of the Insigneo institute at the University of Sheffield.
