Two postdocs: Flow of brain cerebrospinal fluid
University of Rochester
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral researchers to model the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain at the University of Rochester. The work will focus on fluid flow and transport of solutes, including wastes and nutrients, in the glymphatic system, which circulates cerebrospinal fluid through the brain during sleep. That circulation has important implications for human health: diseases such as Alzheimer's correlate with accumulation of brain metabolic wastes, and pathologies such as stroke involve damaging swelling caused by the inrush of cerebrospinal fluid. The postdoctoral researchers will develop high-fidelity models of local flows using direct numerical simulations and extend an existing, brain-wide hydraulic network model of the fluid pathways. They will also develop models for solute transport, caused by both advection and diffusion. Several related questions about brain fluid flow might also be addressed. Experience with computational fluid dynamics is key; biological experience is desirable but not required.

The postdoctoral researchers will join a team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, led by Douglas H. Kelley and John H. Thomas. The researchers will benefit from collaboration with three experimental projects funded simultaneously, producing groundbreaking in vivo observations in both mice and humans. Iterative collaboration, in which experiments inform models and models suggest new experiments, is a central goal for all. Collaboration is also encouraged with other researchers in Mechanical Engineering studying brain fluid flows, currently including one other faculty member, two other postdoctoral researchers, a few PhD students, and a few undergraduate students. Further benefits will come from a Data Science Core dedicated to support the projects by providing data infrastructure, developing code, and performing analyses. These positions will be available starting summer 2022, and funds are available for five years.
