W3 Endowed Professor of Hemodynamic Modeling in Atherosclerosis | W3-Stiftungsprofessur der KSB-Stiftung für „Hämodynamische Modellierung bei Atherosklerose“ (w/m/d)
Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Zentr. Universitätsverwaltung
Job Summary
This prestigious W3 Endowed Professorship, funded by the KSB Foundation at Heidelberg University's Medical Faculty Mannheim, focuses on the interdisciplinary intersection of medical imaging and mathematical modeling. The successful candidate will lead research and teaching in functional cardiovascular imaging, specifically bridging the gap between basic research and clinical application. Day-to-day responsibilities involve utilizing advanced technologies such as Photon-Counting CT (PCCT), 4D MRI flow imaging, and AI-supported analysis to characterize hemodynamic mechanisms in atherosclerosis. You will develop software-based models for plaque rupture and thrombus migration while collaborating with major research hubs like the Mannheim Comprehensive Medical Systems Technology Campus (MCSC). This position is unique for its high-level integration into a network of excellence, including the Fraunhofer Institute and the Mannheim Institute for Intelligent Systems in Medicine, offering a five-year fixed-term appointment to drive innovation in patient-centered diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making.
