The posting

Applicants are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Mechanical and Production Engineering programme. The position is available from 01 March 2027 or later. You can submit your application via the link under 'how to apply'.

Title: Integrating Hormonal and Biomechanical Stimuli in Multi-scale Modelling of human Vascular cells

Research area and project description: As part of the ERC Starting Grant project DISSEX, which aims at developing a sex-aware multiscale framework to predict vascular dissection risk, we are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our multi-disciplinary Cardiovascular Engineering (CareEng) group at Aarhus University. This PhD project specifically aims at quantifying how human coronary arteries respond to systemic hormonal fluctuations and biomechanical stress through both experimental and computational techniques. There are 2 objectives.

Objective 1: Experimental investigation of vascular adaptation The candidate will use innovative microfluidic platforms and ex vivo human coronary arteries to recreate physiological and pathological vascular environments. By exposing vascular tissues to controlled flow, pressure, and hormone profiles representative of daily fluctuations in estradiol, cortisol, and testosterone, the project will quantify how endothelial and smooth muscle cells respond in terms of proliferation, apoptosis, signalling, and biomechanical function. Particular attention will be given to endothelial pathways involving nitric oxide and endothelin-1, providing a unique dataset on how systemic and mechanical stimuli jointly influence vascular health.

Objective 2: Development of a multiscale computational model Building on the experimental findings, the candidate will develop a multiscale computational framework linking cellular activity to vessel-scale biomechanics. Combining agent-based modelling with computational fluid dynamics, the model will integrate hormonal regulation, cellular adaptation, and biomechanical stresses within the vascular wall. The resulting digital platform will enable mechanistic investigation of vascular remodelling processes and provide a foundation for understanding conditions that may predispose arteries to dissection.

The PhD candidate will join an interdisciplinary team bringing together expertise in vascular physiology, Cardiovascular biomechanics, microfluidics and fabrication; computational modelling, and clinical cardiovascular medicine. The project includes close collaboration with clinicians, biologists, and engineers and provides access to state-of-the-art laboratory and computational research facilities.

Qualifications and specific competences: We are looking for highly motivated and independent candidates with the intention to complete a 3-year PhD at Aarhus University. The ideal candidate is expected to have most of the following qualifications:

  • Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, Biomechanical Engineering, Biotechnology or relevant fields.
  • In-depth knowledge in fluid mechanics and cardiovascular applications.
  • Experience with cell culture and tissue engineering
  • Familiarity with numerical modelling (CFD), and software such as COMSOL, SimVascular, or similar software
  • (optional) Previous exposure to agent-based modelling or systems biology
  • excellent written and spoken English (optional Danish). Place of employment and place of work: The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering, Aarhus University, Katrinebjergvej 89F, 8200 Aarhus N.
