Postdoctoral Position in Biological Physics: MPI 1187 views

The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral position (m/f/d) in Biological Physics for the independent research group “Theory of Biological Fluids” headed by Dr. David Zwicker. The research group is involved in performing both experimental and theoretical fundamental scientific research. The postdoctoral position is limited to two years with the possibility of extension.

About the research:
  • The research group “Theory of Biological Fluids” wants to understand how biological organisms organize fluid-like material.
  • For instance, the airflow in the nasal cavity to unveil how it affects our sense of smell is investigated.
  • The successful candidate will work on physical aspects of olfaction.
  • The goal is to understand how the olfactory information forwarded to the brain depends on the airflow in the nasal cavity, the absorption of odorants in the aqueous mucus, and the presence of odorant binding proteins.

Requirements:

  • Candidate should have a PhD in Theoretical Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field as well as an interest in Biological and Soft Matter Physics.
  • Expertise in computational fluid dynamics and/or transport phenomena would be a plus.
  • Programming skills are highly desirable.
  • Fluency in both written and spoken English is required.

Applications:

Apply online with the reference no MPIDS-W044 including the following:

  • Motivation letter describing briefly research interests and state why he/she wants to join the group
  • CV
  • List of publications
  • Contacts of two referees
