Carnegie Mellon University is a private, global research university that stands among the world’s most renowned education institutions. With ground-breaking brain science, path-breaking performances, creative start-ups, big data, big ambitions, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of robots, CMU doesn’t imagine the future, we invent it. If you’re passionate about joining a community that challenges the curious to deliver work that matters, your journey starts here!Innovation. Interdisciplinary collaboration. Complex problem solving. In Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, faculty members, researchers, and students are revolutionizing focus areas in advanced manufacturing, bioengineering, computational engineering, energy and the environment, product design, and robotics. In addition, they are using their expertise in interdisciplinary research centers across the university. Carnegie Mellon University’s department of Mechanical Engineering is searching for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join their team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in an interesting and challenging work environment. You will contribute to the department by assisting with the development of a new generation of multiscale computational models that connect microstructural tissue mechanics, microvascular flow and transport, and tissue function, spanning both in vivo human tissue and in vitro engineered tissue systems along with a highly collaborative computational modeling team. This position offers an unusual opportunity to work as part of a tightly integrated team spanning CMU and other universities. Your core responsibilities will include:Collaborate closely with other team members and with experimental, computational, and clinical investigators to develop models capable of connecting tissue microstructure and local mechanical and transport processes to emergent tissue-level functions.Develop fundamentally new computational m
