Postdoctoral Researcher - Multi-centric study of Fetal Abnormal Cortical Trajectory |
We are opening a selection process for a 2-year full time contract for a postdoc position at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, as part of the MULTIFACT study, an ERA-NET NEURON project. MULTIFACT project aims to describe abnormal cortical development in the early fetal stages, developing non-invasive MRI-derived biomarkers and fetal-specific computational tools, to predict those individuals at higher risk of abnormal postnatal development. We are thus seeking candidates with a PhD in an area pertinent to the project and with experience in brain image analysis, machine learning, and programming using C++/Python. The successful candidate is expected to be able to organise his/her work with minimal supervision and prioritise work to meet deadlines of the project. Due to multiple collaborations within the project with consortium partners from Europe, advanced oral and writing English knowledge are required. Application deadline: 22/07/2022 |

Postdoctoral position - Deep learning image processing for surgery planning and simulation |
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a surgical procedure that, by means of an implantable device, aims to overcome hearing loss by directly stimulating the auditory nerves. Although it is a mature and safe procedure, clinical outcomes vary significantly due to a number of factors, such as anatomical and physiological variability across the population, nerve degeneration, and different implantation strategies. Computer modelling and simulation hold the promise for better, more predictive cochlear implantation. Our group has been active in this line of work for many years, and the project builds on previous related research efforts, such as the EU project HEAR-EU and the Producte project CIplanner. The aim of the project is to develop deep learning image processing and computer modelling methods and tools for cochlear and vestibular implantation. Application deadline: 11/02/2022 |

Postdoctoral researcher in the Biomedical Electronics Research Group |
The Biomedical Electronics Research Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position to carry out research on the assessment of photonic methods for monitoring irreversible electroporation in tissues. Cardiac electroporation is now being developed as a cardiac ablation modality. Cardiac ablation is a common therapeutic option for managing arrythmias in patients not responding to antiarrhythmogenic medication. The two most common cardiac ablation modalities, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation have high success rates. However, both modalities are accompanied by potentially fatal complications such as, for instance, severe esophageal injury leading to an atrio-esophageal fistula. Clinical complications and technical and practical limitations of both techniques are mostly related to their thermal nature. Therefore, non-thermal alternatives are of great interest. And, in the last years, irreversible electroporation, known in the cardiac field as ‘Pulsed Field Ablation’ (PFA), has gained the attention of major medtech companies. We have access to a novel photonic technology able to monitor changes in tissues in real time. We want to explore the use of this technology for monitoring cardiac electroporation and we want to build a solid understanding of the cardiac electroporation phenomenon and how it translates to photonic observations. Research activities will include design and participation in acute and chronic animal studies, in vitro experimentation and numerical modeling studies Application deadline: 20/01/2022
