Description:

The Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society (IT’IS) is an independent non-profit research organization dedicated to improving and advancing the quality of people’s lives. The foundation’s primary activities include the risk assessment of wireless communication technologies, computational electromagnetics in complex environments, computational life sciences (CLS) applied to complex anatomies, and the development of medical image-based high-resolution, computable whole-body anatomical models.

We are seeking a PhD candidate to contribute to the further development of the meshing functionalities required for processing our complex anatomical models and/or CAD-based structures.

Your main tasks:

• Develop methods for

a) generation of high quality, feature-preserving volume and tetrahedral and mixed element surface meshes for anatomical modelds and/or CAD-based structures
b) adaptive mesh refinement
c) interactive and image-based meshing
d) moving meshes

• Apply the developed methodological framework to concrete CLS problems, e.g., in the area of vascular fluid-structure interaction modeling and biomechanics

Education / Profile:

• MSc degree in Computer Science, Electrical / Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Interest and basic knowledge of algorithms, finite element analysis, geometry, medical image analysis, graph theory
• Advanced object-oriented programming experience in C++
• Programming experience in Python a plus
• Experience with mesh generation and/or CAD modeling tools a plus
• Excellent command of the English language; knowledge of German a plus
• Required personality traits: perfectionist, disciplined, and flexible
• Excellent ability to work both independently and in a team

What IT’IS offers:

• Modern research infrastructure
• Outstanding, young, interdisciplinary research teams
• Cooperation with leading research laboratories worldwide
• Vibrant workplace in the heart of Zurich
• Flexible working hours

Beginning:

As soon as possible.

Application process:

Applications should consist of:

• a cover letter including the position title and a statement addressing the selection criteria and outlining the motivation for applying for the position
• a detailed CV
• copies of degree certificates and / or diplomas, including marks
• letters of recommendation
