King's College London

THIS VACANCY IS OPEN TO INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY

About Us

This post will be held in the research department of Digital Twins for Healthcare in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, which is a hub of interdisciplinary research spanning computational modelling, AI, imaging, robotics and instrumentation. The main work will be undertaken at the Becket house campus near St Thomas hospital.

About The Role

This work is part of a European-funded research project ECaBox, which aims to resuscitate donor eyes for therapy development and transplantation purposes. Specifically, a novel perfusion device has been developed and alongside it, biological and computational investigation is undertaken to enhance and evaluate the device performance, optimise its capability and to restore organ function. 

The post will be responsible for two main goals: 1) to modify existing device control software for the perfusion device to allow extended functionalities and, 2) to apply our ocular circulation model to guide its operation (i.e. pressure/flow set point control). The work will involve working closely with our collaborators, on the design of experiments and practical user aspects, in addition to the analysis of new data being collected. Applicants should be aware there is a final reporting deadline to the funders in August which will set the timeline and progress required of the post. 

This is a full time post (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31st August 2025.

For students who are UK residents, the maximum working hours is up to 20 hours per week during term time and full time during official holiday periods.
