Researcher in Physics-Informed Digital Twins for Breast-Cancer Invasiveness Scoring

The Politecnico di Milano invites applications for a Researcher position to develop physics-informed digital twins for quantitative assessment of breast-cancer invasiveness. The role involves integrating mechanistic models of tumour growth and invasion with experimental data from in vitro multicellular systems, focusing on tumour–microenvironment interactions such as active wetting, tissue remodelling, adhesion, friction, traction, and cell migration. The framework will incorporate data assimilation, uncertainty quantification, and physics-informed surrogate models to accelerate simulations and parameter identification. Candidates will be evaluated on research proposal quality, relevance of prior activities, publications, and language proficiency.
