The successful candidate will be registered for PhD training while employed by the University on a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, and will be expected to conduct research on the development of human atrial modelling and simulation technology informed by experimental and clinical datasets and to investigate interpatient variability in ionic mechanisms, atrial fibrillation patterns, and treatment efficacy after administration of drugs.

Candidates must possess a masters degree in a relevant subject and the ability to manage research and related administrative activities, and should have experience of software programming and biophysical modelling and simulation.

The EC funding for this position provides for a remuneration starting from £37,805.00 p.a. Actual salary will depend on employer deductions, personal circumstances and the exchange rate applicable to the fellowship. This amount includes an annual living allowance and a mobility allowance (to cover the expenses associated with working in a different country).
