Postdoc in Plant Biophysics and Microscale Fluid-Structure Interactions
Soft Matter Biophysics Group, Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark

We are offering a post-doctoral position in the biophysics of cell-to-cell transport in plants.

Plant cells are physically separated by rigid walls yet remain coherent with their neighbors and able to exchange specific sets of molecules. Previous research has shown that the junctions which facilitate transport between cells exhibit remarkable flow control features, a process which is currently believed to be energized and tightly regulated. However, passive physical flow control increasingly appears to be a fundamental mechanism for cell-cell transport. Consistent with this concept, transport has been shown to exhibit a strong mechanical stress dependence, a hallmark of fluid-structure interactions.

This Postdoc project will test the hypothesis that complex fluid flow control patterns can be encoded in material properties of soft micropores that link the cells. You will combine experiments on biomimetic microfluidic devices with low-Reynolds-number flow and elasticity theory to elucidate the behaviour of synthetic cell networks linked by soft junctions.

Application deadline: 1 March 2020

I am looking for a strong and motivated scientist to work on the relation between structure and rheology in disordered materials, with a focus on semi-flexible fiber networks. The position is fully funded by the Alan Turing Center for Living Systems, a new interdisciplinary research hub in Marseille that brings together physicists, biologists, engineers, and mathematicians. 

To apply for the position, please send cv and email addresses of two references to matthias.merkel@cpt.univ-mrs.fr.

Applications will be considered continuously until the position is filled.  http://centuri-livingsystems.org/m-merkel/

A post-doctoral positions is open at ENS Paris to work in collaboration with Francesco Zamponi and Ludovic Berthier.
The research project concerns the low-temperature properties of glasses, and the nature of their excitations and defects. We want to systematically explore the microscopic nature of tunnelling Two-Level Systems (TLS) in these systems, following up on our recent preprints [arxiv:1910.11168 and arxiv:1906.06894]. The candidate is expected to have at least some background in the physics of glasses, and on standard computational methods such as Molecular Dynamics. Experience with LAMMPS is welcome.

Applications are invited for a postdoc in theoretical statistical mechanics, to work with Francesco Zamponi and Giulio Biroli at ENS-Paris, in close collaboration with Grzegorz Szamel and Patrick Charbonneau.
The overall project focuses on obtaining a first-principle statistical mechanics description of amorphous solids. The specific goal for this position is to obtain a microscopic understanding of activated hopping processes, which are elementary, non-perturbative corrections to the mean-field description of liquids and glasses [see e.g. arxiv:1407.5677].
Candidates should have a PhD in physics or related fields, with experience in the statistical mechanics of disordered systems.
