This position will begin Summer or Fall 2023 according to candidate’s availability. The term of employment is one-year, with a second-year possible based on performance and funding. Salary is commensurate with experience.

Specific responsibilities will include:

Help develop a novel formulation for a cardiac model that maximizes efficiency. Under faculty mentoring, use agent-based modeling, a powerful tool that has been widely used for modeling exceedingly complex systems when the decision making is decentralized and there is a desire to integrate combinations of heterogeneous processes. Work with a research group to use multiscale modeling to upscale the simulations to the whole heart. These simulations will allow for running wide parameter trends to compare against previously published models and experimental data. Work collaboratively to analyze the agent-based model and investigate the processes for their respective dynamics, especially in the context of spatial phenomena. Propose and write manuscripts based on the conducted research. Participate in professional development activities, including attending national conferences. Receive mentorship and training in effective teaching practices and teach at least 1 undergraduate course during the fellowship under the mentorship of experienced faculty (paid by additional assignment as a part-time lecturer).
