Lab Manager

The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Computation Lab led by Dr. Alison Marsden (the PI) develops fundamental computational methods for studying cardiovascular disease progression, surgical methods, treatment planning, and medical devices. We focus on patient-specific modeling in pediatric and congenital heart disease, as well as adult cardiovascular disease. Our lab bridges engineering and medicine through the departments of Pediatrics, Bioengineering, and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering. We develop the SimVascular open-source project. The lab consists mostly of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars with a few undergraduate students, occasional visiting researchers from other institutions, and a Senior Research Software Engineer.

Stanford University is seeking a Science and Engineering Associate 2 to manage the lab’s research projects and software development, assist with lab operations, publication management, and personnel hiring and onboarding.
