Start of employment as soon as possible
Application deadline October 3rd 2025
Scope full time and for initially three years
The research group for Numerical Structural Analysis at the Institute of Ship Structural Design and Analysis develops advanced simulation methods for complex problems in the field of Computational Mechanics. Within the scope of this position, the Finite Cell Method (FCM) is to be further developed as part of the interdisciplinary project "Computational and experimental investigation of the biomechanical effects of implants on spinal segment function", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The goal of this international project is to simulate the biomechanical behavior of spinal segments treated with implants, using the Finite Cell Method and the phase-field method. The development of the simulation method will involve close collaboration with international partners in biomechanics and spine surgery.
