&nbsp;The Department of Toxicology has two vacancies for a &nbsp;
&nbsp;Research assistant (postdoc) (100%) (m/f/d)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Research assistant (postdoc) (65%) (m/f/d)
&nbsp;The positions are initially limited until 30 June 2027.&nbsp;A 12-month assignment in France may be required.
<h2>Your task:</h2>
Mathematical modelling will be used to investigate the processes and consequences of disease progression from liver fibrosis to cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer), to select specific informative experiments and to aid clinical decision-making. The clinical pictures are accompanied by microarchitectural changes. For this purpose, images of animal and human livers are analysed on a histological scale in all projects. The results are used to construct in silico spatio-temporal multiscale models that correctly represent the liver microarchitecture and simulate selective liver functions. The models can include molecular and tissue scales, signalling and metabolism of each cell or entire tissue, as well as flow and transport.
The projects open up excellent opportunities to develop image processing methods, mechanistic computer models and software tools and to use them in highly relevant clinical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications at the forefront of research. All projects are developed in close collaboration with experimental and clinical partners within a team of individuals with diverse core expertise within German and international research networks. The main modelling partner and, possibly, place of work is the SIMBIOTX working group at INRIA (French National Institute in Digital Science and Technology) Saclay in Palaiseau near to Paris.
We are looking for applicants for the following two project activities, whereby the distribution of modelling tasks can also be adapted to interests and skills.
<ol>
<li>Mathematical modelling of the functional consequences of microarchitectural changes in the liver during the development of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis up to hepatocellular carcinoma. The focus is on flow and transport modelling. Possibly computer-assisted generation of liver microarchitectures based on histological data, literature knowledge and information from clinical partners.</li>
<li>Mathematical modelling of the development of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma. The possible underlying processes will be investigated using a spatial-temporal mathematical model. In a second step, the regenerative capacity of the liver in the presence of the above-mentioned diseases will be studied. Based on the findings, possible therapy options and recommendations will be developed. Besides using maths models that show the possible biological and physical mechanisms, artificial intelligence modelling methods and deep learning techniques can also be used in both areas.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Your qualifications:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Master's degree/diploma/doctorate in computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related field</li>
<li>Excellent English skills are essential</li>
<li>Strong interest in interdisciplinary work and team orientation</li>
<li>Experience with one or more of the following: programming languages (C++, Python), agent-based modeling methods, or continuum mechanics, especially blood flow and transport modeling. Knowledge of AI and OpenGL-based visualization techniques and/or image analysis methods is an advantage.</li>
<li>Communication and teamwork skills, above-average commitment, and the ability to work independently are expected.</li>
<li>Independent and autonomous work, establishing techniques, and presenting work at international conferences</li>
</ul>
<h2>Our Offer:</h2>
<ul>
<li>A full-time position with currently 39,83 h/week and a half-time position with 29,83 h/week</li>
<li>Remuneration is based on the collective agreement for the public sector of the federal states (EG 13 TV-L). Classification is based on the collective agreement and personal requirements</li>
<li>All the benefits of public sector (social) services, e.g., an annual bonus and capital-forming benefits</li>

The Circular Economy &amp; Materials research group at PEM is further developing the various components of lithium-ion batteries. All battery components are examined throughout their entire life cycle – from the raw material to recycling – and optimised with regard to KPIs such as cost, performance and sustainability. Future materials and technologies from the post-lithium-ion sector are also the subject of research. The group's second focus is on the processes that follow the first life cycle of a battery, which are summarised under the term ‘Re-X’. These include the use of batteries in ‘Re-Use’, for example as stationary energy storage devices, automated dismantling, ‘Repair’, “Remanufacturing” and recycling.

The position corresponds to a pay grade of EG 13 TV-L.<h2>Unser Profil</h2>SAF is a chair of RWTH Aachen University, part oft he mechanical faculty. We research and develop methods and tools that systematically combine sustainability assessment, artificial intelligence, and foresight research. The aim is to enable transparent, comparable, and automated assessment of industrial value creation systems by standardizing the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA; holistic/three-dimensional sustainability assessment), thereby promoting data-based sustainability strategies.
The focus is on the pillars of standardization and automation of sustainability assessment and foresight research, which we link in an interdisciplinary manner – among other things, in cooperation with partners from science, certification, and industry. Practical and future-oriented solutions are developed based on use cases from various industries.
Under our guiding principle “SAF - Science for Sustainable Industry Transformation,” we combine research on LCSA, AI-supported data processing, and scenario-based foresight research. The desired outcome are open, freely accessible tools and technical solutions for standardized sustainability assessment and scenario development that combine scientific excellence with practical applicability.
The Circular Economy &amp; Materials research group at PEM is further developing the various components of lithium-ion batteries. All battery components are examined throughout their entire life cycle – from the raw material to recycling – and optimised with regard to KPIs such as cost, performance and sustainability. Future materials and technologies from the post-lithium-ion sector are also the subject of research. The group's second focus is on the processes that follow the first life cycle of a battery, which are summarised under the term ‘Re-X’. These include the use of batteries in ‘Re-Use’, for example as stationary energy storage devices, automated dismantling, ‘Repair’, “Remanufacturing” and recycling. From the implementation of strategic consulting projects to the investigation of specific technical issues in the laboratory, the team is dedicated to almost all topics in the areas of battery components and ‘Re-X’ topics.&nbsp;
