Open Post Doctoral Positions
Professor Portonovo Ayyaswamy's group is seeking a Post Doctoral
Fellow to assist in the development of multiscale models and
simulation methods for cell membrane deformation and dynamics in the
presence of hydrodynamic and receptor-ligand forces applied to
Targeted Nanocarrier design and optimization for drug delivery. The
program plans to develop a synergistic modeling and experimental
platform for accessing and bridging the multiple length and time
scales relevant for vascular drug delivery. The project is funded by a
NIH-RO1 grant in collaboration with Dr. David Eckmann and Dr. Ravi
Radhakrishnan at Penn.
The prospective candidate must have a Ph.D. in Engineering or in a
relevant science area with a strong background and track record in
numerical methods related to multiphase flow problems and in
statistical mechanics. Good knowledge of and deep appreciation for
biology at the nanoscale are highly desired. The position is available
immediately. Please send your resume, list of publications, and names
and e-mail addresses of at least three references to:
