Postdoctoral Fellow - Computer Modeling in Biology, University of Calgary, Canada

A postdoctoral fellow is required to develop a computer model of the gastrointestinal tract. The GI tract is a complex physiologically system, with a network of oscillators driving a population of muscles. The project will require the development of ionically-based representations of GI cell types, and integrating them into a anatomically realistic framework. The PDF will interact extensively with computational scientists in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and biological researchers in the Department of Physiology.

Qualifications:
The candidate must possess a PhD in Engineering, Physics, Biology, or Medicine. Experience with computer modeling, numerical methods, or biophysics is highly preferred.
