Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization invites applications for a Postdoctoral Position in Biological Physics for the independent research group “Theory of Biological Fluids” headed by Dr. David Zwicker.

About the research:
  • The research group “Theory of Biological Fluids” focuses on understanding how biological organisms organize fluid-like material.
  • The successful candidate will develop a theory for phase separation of (visco-) elastic matter.
  • The goal is a description of the dynamics of droplets forming in an elastic gel as well as the formation of gel-like droplets in a liquid solvent.

Requirements:

  • Applicant must be excellent, enthusiastic and self-motivated researchers with good communication skills to join the research team.
  • Applicant must hold PhD in Theoretical Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field and a solid background as well as interest in biological and soft matter physics.
  • Expertise in elasticity theory and/or the theory of phase separation are a plus. Programming skills are highly desirable.
  • Fluency in both written and spoken English is required. The researcher should show eagerness to learn new skills and apply established ones.

Duration:  limited to two years with the possibility of extension

Applications:
