SUMMARY:PhD position in Experimental Soft Matter Physics Group\, Uni Luxembourg
DESCRIPTION:We have an opening for a Ph.D. student position in the Experimental Soft Matter Physics group (www.lcsoftmatter.com ) at the University of Luxembourg\, to be filled as soon as possible. The position is part of a joint project between the ESMP group and the Developmental & Cellular Biology group (https://wwwfr.uni.lu/lcsb/research/developmental_and_cellular_biology ) of Prof. Jens Schwamborn at the Luxembourg Center for Systems Biomedicine. You will\, on the one hand\, be using microfluidic technology to produce liquid crystal elastomer tubes and evaluate their function as soft actuators\, on the other hand\, you will do research on the growth of ‘organoids’\, miniaturized versions of biological organs growing in culture medium. The research will thus transcend the boundaries of physics\, chemistry and biology. For this position\, the main focus is on the physics and chemistry of liquid crystal elastomers in curved geometries\, hence a solid foundation in physics or chemistry is the ideal. But an interest in all three areas will in all cases be needed. The Ph.D. topic will be physics or chemistry.\nPlease find the full position announcement here: http://emea3.mrted.ly/2d3v5 We are looking forward to your application! Please write to Prof. Jan Lagerwall (jan.lagerwall@uni.lu) if you have further questions.

SUMMARY:2 experimental postdoc positions in Tübingen (colloid chemistry/physics)
DESCRIPTION:The group „Computational Soft Matter/Nanoscience and Experimental Colloidal Physics“ at the University of Tübingen addresses challenging questions in fundamental as well as in applied research. In the experimental soft matter physics division of the group\, new experimental techniques are being developed to analyse soft matter in both direct and reciprocal space\, which frequently contain complementary information. We apply these techniques to answer fundamental questions in the field of non-equilibrium physics. We are highly interested in studying phenomena that occur in equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems and in transits between those. Research topics include the structure and dynamics of complex liquids\, phase transitions\, and transport processes in bulk\, confined geometry and at interfaces. \nWe offer a  \n\n\nPostDoc position in experimental colloidal chemistry (TV-L 13) \n\n\nPostDoc position in experimental colloidal physics (TV-L 13) \n\n\nIn colloidal chemistry we are interested in synthesizing new colloidal model system with tunable\, preferably anisotropic interaction\, with particles tailored for optical experiments. For sure\, the planned work involves the synthesis and characterization of these systems\, but also requires to study the structure and dynamics of these systems out of equilibrium using state of the art microscopy and scattering techniques. An ideal candidate is experienced in colloidal chemistry (particle synthesis and characterization) and applied optics and has excellent experimental\, technical and communication skills.  \nIn the colloidal physics project we want to investigate different phase transition scenarios with new colloidal model systems. The planned work will focus in identifying the microscopic mechanisms on the one hand and studying the kinetics and dynamics of the respective phase transition depending on the experimental control parameters on the other. Although a wide range of state of the art experiments is available for these investigation further experimental development in microscopy and/or light scattering is needed. An ideal candidate is experienced in colloidal physics\, non-equilibrium physics and applied optics and has excellent experimental\, programming\, technical and communication skills.  \nFor more information\, please contact PD Hans Joachim Schöpe (hans-joachim.schoepe@uni-tuebingen.de) or Prof. Martin Oettel (martin.oettel@uni-tuebingen.de). \nEmployment\, salary and benefits are governed by the collective agreement for civil service in the state Baden-Würtemberg. Candidates are expected to contribute to teaching (4 hours per week during lecture periods). The positions are limited to two years.  \nCandidates with disabilities will be preferred in case of equal qualification. Tübingen University is particularly interested in applications from female candidates for this position and therefore strongly encourages women to apply. \nPlease send email applications with the usual documents (letter of motivation\, CV\, graduation certificates in one .pdf) and arrange for two letters of reference\, all to PD Hans Joachim Schöpe and Prof. Martin Oettel. Deadline for applications is March 1\, 2020\, later applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
