Solvay Workshop in memory of Prof. Grégoire Nicolis on « Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems »

Brussels, 14 – 16 June 2021 (ONLINE VIA ZOOM)

See all infos on the WEB page http://www.solvayinstitutes.be/event/workshop/nonlinear_2020/nonlinear_2020.html
This workshop will be dedicated to the memory of Prof. Grégoire NICOLIS who passed away on October 18, 2018. Grégoire Nicolis was a pioneer in the science of nonlinear phenomena and complex systems, who published many influential publications in this area. His contributions are known worldwide for having initiated a vast field of research unifying the physical sciences in our understanding of the emergence by nonlinear  bifurcations of stationary, oscillating, and chaotic spatio-temporal structures from chemistry and physics to biological systems, neuroscience, meteorology and climate science. Today, this vast field is blossoming internationally and we hope to commemorate Grégoire Nicolis’ contributions to these advances at this workshop. The workshop will also have the aim to establish the state of the art for future research in this multidisciplinary area.

online KITP program « Physics of Elastic Films : from Biological Membranes to Extreme Mechanics » (May 17 – June 18)


Dear colleague,

We are happy to inform you that the KITP program on “The Physics of Elastic Films: from Biological Membranes to Extreme Mechanics” will be held virtually from May 17 until June 18, 2021. If you have not registered yet and are interested, please visit and register at

https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/activities/films21
For each of the five weeks of the program, four pre-recorded talks will set the basis for two-hours long discussion sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 8:00am Pacific Standard Time. Each of the five weeks will be devoted to one of the following themes:

• (Non-) Equilibrium fluctuations of fluid membranes and solid shells
• Extreme Mechanics
• Frustrated solid sheets and fluid membranes
• Mechanical stress propagation in fluid and solid membranes
• Wetting of deformable sheets

You can find the core program at the end of this email. Additionally, we plan to start each week on Monday with a “meet and greet” event, where participants will have the opportunity to briefly present themselves and their interests. We will also make sure to offer possibilities for spontaneously organized meetings for further discussions and interactions. 

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you require additional information.

Best Regards,
Markus Deserno, Rumiana Dimova, Andrej Kosmrlj, and Carlos Marques

PS. Please feel free to advertise the attached flyer.

Postdoc transport masse/chaleur dans les arbres (PIAF)

Le PIAF (Physique et Physiologie de l’Arbre)  propose une position de Post-Doc de 2 ans sur la modélisation de transport de masse et de chaleur au sein de branches lors d’épisode de gel. Nous cherchons donc un physicien  ayant déjà une competence en transport de masse et de chaleur par elements finis. Des notions d’homogeneisation ou de milieu triphasiques seraient un plus.

Serait-il possible de faire passer l’annonce auprès du réseau.

En vous remerciant

Eric

2 postdocs (Experimental / Computational) colloidal suspensions (Cornell)


Open Experimental Postdoc Position: Hormozi Research Group, Cornell University 
 

A full-time experimental post-doctoral researcher position is immediately available in the group of Prof. Sarah Hormozi at Cornell University (https://www.cheme.cornell.edu/faculty-directory/sarah-hormozi). 

The project will involve flows of dense non-Brownian suspensions, colloidal suspensions and active matter. Candidates are sought in all technical subdisciplines of soft matter physics and optical physics with a strong background and publication. The position requires familiarity with setting up and working with optical devices from scratch, i.e., skills such as Particle Image Velocimetry, Particle tracking Velocimetry, Advanced Microscopy. The main objective is to establish and set up a new lab at Cornell University and get involved in various fundamental research projects. Cornell University offers an intellectually stimulating environment with excellent facilities. Incredibly exciting is the opportunity for the candidate to interact with outstanding faculty on campus and scientists at other universities in the areas of soft matter physics and fluid mechanics. The successful candidate will benefit from the ongoing experimental projects at the Hormozi’s lab, research institutes such as the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (https://www.cnf.cornell.edu/) and the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (https://www.chess.cornell.edu/).  

This is expected to be a one-year position. However, an additional year will be considered contingent on project performance and funding.  To apply, please send a CV, names of three references, and up to three representative publications to Prof. Sarah Hormozi (hormozi@cornell.edu) with the subject“Hormozi Group: Experimental Postdoc

Position.”  Open Computational Postdoc Position: Hormozi Research Group, Cornell University  A full-time post-doctoral researcher position is immediately available in the group of Prof. Sarah Hormozi at Cornell University (https://www.cheme.cornell.edu/faculty-directory/sarah-hormozi). The project will involve flows of dense non-Brownian suspensions. Candidates are sought in all technical subdisciplines of computational rheology and soft matter physics with a strong background and publication record in theoretical and computational research. The candidate is expected to bring enthusiasm, deep thinking, broad curiosity, and creativity to the project.   Cornell University offers an intellectually stimulating environment with excellent facilities. Incredibly exciting is the opportunity for the candidate to interact with outstanding faculty on campus and scientists at other universities in the areas of soft matter physics and fluid mechanics. The project will particularly be carried out in a collaborative fashion with Professors Donald Koch (CBE Cornell) and Franck Radjai (CNRS, University of Montpellier, France). Although the project is purely computational and theoretical, the successful candidate will benefit from the ongoing experimental projects at the Hormozi’s lab, research institutes such as the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (https://www.cnf.cornell.edu/) and the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (https://www.chess.cornell.edu/) and collaborating with scientists in experimental physics, notably Professors Guillaume Ovarlez (CNRS, University of Bordeaux, France) and Annie Colin (CNRS, ESPCI, France).  This is expected to be a two-year position, with the second year contingent on project performance and funding.  

To apply, please send a CV, names of three references, and up to three representative publications to Prof. Sarah Hormozi (hormozi@cornell.edu) with the subject“Hormozi Group Computational Postdoc Position.”

poste prof LMFA (Lyon)


Bonjour

Le poste PR décrit dans le fichier ci-joint sera bientôt mis au concours, il s’agit d’un poste Lyon 1 / LMFA, section 60, avec un profil mécanique des fluides assez large. La volonté de l’université Lyon 1 est de favoriser le recrutement exogène, et l’ouverture du poste est conditionnée à l’existence d’un vivier de candidats extérieurs au site lyonnais.

Je vais diffuser le fichier ci-joint dans plusieurs autres labos de mécanique des fluides, mais si de votre côté vous connaissez des gens susceptibles d’être intéressés n’hésitez pas à le leur transmettre : comme indiqué dans le fichier il faudra ensuite qu’ils se mettent en contact avec moi, Marc ou Christophe.​

Merci pour votre aide

Jean-Philippe Matas
