PhD Positions: Biophysics/Soft Matter Physics 1435 views

The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Dynamics and Self-Organization invite applications for PhD positions in the field of Biophysics / Soft Matter Physics within the department Dynamics of Complex Fluids. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. Stephan Herminghaus.

About the positions:
  • The position requires candidate to be highly motivated, outstanding and interested in questions about the research topics “physics of living matter at interfaces” and “microbial life in complex geometries”.
  • The research group combines concepts from soft matter physics, biophysics, statistical physics, and micro/nanofluidics.
  • The experimental methods include advanced optical microscopy techniques based on high-speed, fluorescence and contrast-enhancing imaging modes.
  • The group combines these methods with novel high-precision force spectroscopy techniques for time-resolved measurements of interfacial forces in living cells, microorganisms and biological tissue.
Requirements:
  • Applicant must hold Master’s or comparable degree in Physics, Biophysics or in a related subject.
  • Applicants with background in the field of biophysics are desirable.
  • Applicant must demonstrate good experimental skills and knowledge of experimental techniques, image processing and data analysis are required, programming skills (e.g. Matlab).
  • Applicant must possess fluency in both written and spoken English.
Application:

Applications should include the following:
