Postdoctoral Positions in Biophysics/Soft Matter Physics 1326 views

The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization invite applications for Postdoctoral Positions in Biophysics/Soft Matter Physics at the department Dynamics of Complex Fluids headed by Prof. Dr. Stephan Herminghaus.

About the research:

• The research group focuses on a variety of experimental methods including microfluidics, optical microscopy techniques, and fluorescence microscopy and has developed novel high-precision force spectroscopy techniques to study forces in biological and synthetic systems.
• Experimental facilities as well as travel funds will be available.
• Selected candidates will join an active group involved in international collaborations.
• Selected candidate will design and conduct experiments on in vivo force spectroscopy of microorganisms and functionalized vesicles.

Requirements:

• Applications are open to excellent, enthusiastic and self-motivated researchers with good communication skills and will join the research team.
• Applicant must hold PhD in physics or related disciplines and a solid background as well as interest in biological physics and/or soft matter physics.
• Expertise regarding experimental techniques and data analysis are MUST, programming skills (e.g. Matlab) are highly desirable.
• Applicant must possess fluency in both written and spoken English; German would be an asset.

Duration: postdoctoral positions are limited to two years

Applications:

• Apply online and quote reference no MPIDS-W021  and submit the following:
• CV
