These carriers aim to precisely deliver anti-cancer drugs to tumor sites, mitigating the indiscriminate impact of conventional chemotherapy on both cancerous and normal cells. The candidate will employ a multi-scale modeling approach to accurately predict the transport of nanoparticles in human blood, as well as simulate their attachment to cancer cells and subsequent drug release. Expertise in Molecular Dynamics, Dissipative Particle Dynamics, Lattice Boltzmann with immersed boundary method, or discrete element method is required, and familiarity with Lagrangian-Eulerian methods, including PIC, is considered and advantage. Preferably, candidates should have prior experience with the LAMMPS open-source package or similar simulation tools, and proficiency in FORTRAN and C languages to modify existing codes at Khalifa University.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Position Requirements</b></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Simulation experience</li>\n<li>Ability to develop/modify codes in MATLAB, FORTRAN and C.</li>\n<li>Must have at least a previous experience and publications in simulation.</li>\n<li>Perform any other tasks assigned by the Line Manager</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Qualifications </strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Candidate Profile</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Essential Criteria</b></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>PhD from a reputable university in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.</li>\n<li>Experience writing scientific or review papers;</li>\n<li>A willingness to contribute to a collaborative and supportive team culture</li>\n<li>Excellent English language communication skills (verbal and written)</li>\n<li>Ability to work both independently and as part of a team</li>\n<li>The proven ability to work on multiple tasks with competing demands and deadlines.</li>\n<li>Ability to train and mentor students and support fellow researchers</li>\n<li>Highly developed reasoning and problem-solving skills</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Desired Criteria</b></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>PhD gained from a high ranked University</li>\n<li>High impact first-author publications in top journals in the relevant field</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Should you require further assistance or if you face any issue with the online application, please feel to contact the Recruitment Team (<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:recruitmentteam@ku.ac.ae\" rel=\"no-follow\" target=\"_blank\">recruitmentteam@ku.ac.ae</a>).</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Primary Location: </strong>Abu Dhabi UAE\n<strong>Job: </strong>Post Doctoral Fellow\n<strong>Schedule:</strong> Regular\n<strong>Shift:</strong> Standard\n<strong>Job Type: </strong>Full-time</p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates","location1":"아시아","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://aa255.taleo.net/careersection/ku+external+portal/moresearch.ftl?lang=en&portal=8116755942","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Permanent","salary":null,"original_id":"UNI|361697","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/361697","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2024-01-26T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":"","managerFax":null,"managerEmail":"recruitmentteam@ku.ac.ae","managerName":"KHALIFA UNIVERSITY","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates","log_hit":3,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2023-12-27T11:21:14.000Z","updatedAt":"2023-12-27T11:21:14.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":826,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"Khalifa University","name_en":"Khalifa University","name_alt":",","introduction":"<p>Khalifa University (KU) combines three of the United Arab Emirates’ leading universities - the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MI), the Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research (KUSTAR), and The Petroleum Institute (PI) - into one world-class, research-intensive institution, seamlessly integrating research and education to produce world leaders and critical thinkers in applied science and engineering.
