Post Doctoral Research Associate in Active Matter at University of Edinburgh, UK
Research area: Active matter, collective motion, hydrodynamic interactions.
We are looking for a post-doctoral research associate to carry out research in the field of theoretical active matter at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Edinburgh. This post is funded by the EPSRC New Horizons project Lattice Models of Bacterial Turbulence. The successful applicant will use analytical and numerical techniques to study collective motion in dilute suspensions of self-propelled particles in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions.
