2 PHD POSITIONS IN COMPUTATIONAL BRAIN AND CARDIAC DEVELOPMENT AND REMODELLING

PhD project 1: Development of a multi-scale model of the cardiovascular system of a foetus with aortic coarctation

The aim of this project is the development of a multi-scale model of the cardiovascular system of a fetus with aortic coarctation (and related defects such as ventricular or atrial septal defects), including also the implementation of a tissue growth model to be able to assess the cardiac growth and remodelling during development. It will consist on a 0D model of the circulation, including all the relevant vessels and vascular beds, potentially coupled to a simple 3D model of the fetal heart. Then, a simplified mathematical model of cardiac growth and remodelling will be incorporated in order to study the effects of hemodynamic and mechanical alterations under aortic coarctation into cardiac development.

PhD project 2: The Heart-Brain axis, or There and Back again: the journey towards brain development traverses vascular territories

The aim of this project is to create a computational modelling platform, linking heart and brain systems, to test the influence of mechanical forces originating from vascular anatomy, haemodynamics and metabolic characteristics on brain development in normal and abnormal conditions. This research will open up opportunities for understanding systems-based mechanisms of other conditions affecting heart and brain such as congenital heart disease, schizophrenia, autism, neurodegenerative diseases or neurocardiology applications.

This is a short-term research assistant position on the topic of algorithmic fairness and debiasing of graph embeddings. Specifically, the work consists on performing research along two axes -- first, to identify ways in which the use of graph embeddings in tasks such as node classification, link prediction, and graph-based recommendations, may introduce biases due to correlations between nodes’ personal, sensitive attributes and their connections to other nodes in the graph, and two, to develop new methods that can mitigate such biases when detected without severely impacting the performance of embedding algorithms along traditional measures such as accuracy.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE: The Emerging Human Brain Cluster

Applications are invited for a full-time post-doctoral research position in the The Emerging Human Brain Cluster (Clúster Emergent del Cervell Humà - CECH). The successful candidate would be integrated in the Speech Acquisition and Perception Group (SAP), lead by Prof. Nuria Sebastian, of the Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC)

The Emerging Human Brain Cluster is part of the call for proposals for the allocation of co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to groups in emerging technologies for the development of valorization projects and research transfer projects.

We seek candidates working in Cognitive Neuroscience, preferably Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, with strong programming skills (advanced scientific programming in Matlab and Python) and experience in EEG - experimentation and analysis (Fourier, wavelet time-frequency analysis for power spectrum, functional and effective connectivity analyses). The successful candidate will develop a vigorous research program that contributes to and complements ongoing research studies. The candidate will have access to state of the art facilities.

We offer onsite laboratory facilities (www.upf.edu/web/cbclab) and a highly interdisciplinary and active reserch environment at the Center for Brain and Cognition. The position will be renewable on a yearly basis for up to 3 years.

Starting date: September 2019.
