SUMMARY:Funded PhD studentship at Durham University (UK)
DESCRIPTION:A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Mark Miller in the Chemistry Department of Durham University (UK) to start in October 2021.  The deadline for applications is 19 March. \nThe project is entitled “Predictive simulations of molecules in membranes” and will focus on developing quantitative coarse-grained models that work over a broad chemical space.  One of the key aims is to predict partitioning of and interaction between molecules in lipid bilayers\, taking into account the dependence of these properties on the composition of the bilayer itself. \nThe studentship is for four years and is funded by an Industrial CASE award from Unilever and EPSRC (the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council). \nCandidates should have (or be about to obtain) a strong degree in chemistry\, chemical physics\, or closely related discipline.  Experience of molecular dynamics simulation and of programming is highly desirable. \nDurham University has particular strengths in computational chemistry and in soft matter.  We have an interdepartmental Centre for Soft Matter and host the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Soft Matter for Formulation and Industrial Innovation (SOFI2) with the Universities of Leeds and Edinburgh.  Durham itself is a picturesque medieval city in the northeast of England\, centred on a World Heritage Site. \nFor full details of the studentship and how to apply\, please see https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/predictive-simulations-of-molecules-in-membranes/?p130265

SUMMARY:Postdoctoral position: Microfluidic flow of vesicle prototissues as a model for embryonic tissues (U.Montpellier\, France)
DESCRIPTION:The Soft Matter team of the Laboratoire Charles Coulomb (Montpellier) offers a post-doctoral research contract\, funded by the Labex-Numev\, for a period of one year (with possibility of renewal) starting on September 1st\, 2021. The postdoc will be supervised by Laura Casanellas. \nProject description\nThe goal of the project is to characterize the microfluidic flow of biomimetic tissues as a model system for Xenopus embryos. Specifically\, we aim at unveiling the role of cell-cell adhesion on the flow of the tissue. In our team we have recently synthesized a prototissue based on the self-assembly of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV)\, which displays tuneable GUV adhesion\, size and morphology. This model prototissue represents an ideal tool to uncouple adhesion from other physical and biological cell properties (which is extremely challenging in living systems) and to probe its role on the tissue rheology. \nPostdoc objectives\nThe successful candidate will focus on the implementation of microfluidic flow experiments of vesicle prototissues\, using different flow geometries. The candidate will first develop the necessary imaging tools necessary to provide a quantitative description of the flow at the tissue and cell levels. Next\, the impact of individual GUV properties (adhesion and elasticity) on tissue rheology will be probed in microfluidic confinement. The results will enable to validate the theoretical constitutive equation describing the flow behavior of the biomimetic tissue. \nPostdoc Candidate\nWe are looking for a highly motivated candidate to join our team\, willing to carry on experimental research in a multi-disciplinary framework. Candidates should hold a PhD in Biophysics\, Physics\, Fluid Mechanics or Chemistry. Expertise on microfluidics\, microscopy\, and image analysis will be highly appreciated. Good communication skills and a basic knowledge on programming are required. \nApplication: Applicants should send as soon as possible their CV\, together with a cover letter and one/two references to L. Casanellas (laura.casanellas-vilageliu@umontpellier.fr)\nPlease\, feel free to contact me for any further information.
