SUMMARY:Postdoc at the Materials Physics Center in San Sebastian (Spain)
DESCRIPTION:CROWDING EFFECTS ON THE BEHAVIOR OF MACROMOLECULAR NANO-OBJECTS \nThe general framework of this project is to contribute to the understanding of crowding effects on the structure and dynamics of macromolecules of diverse types. We are currently running a project focused on single-chain nano-particles (SCNPs) –soft nano-objects obtained by intramolecular cross-linking of individual macromolecules. In dilute conditions\, SCNPs have been found to adopt sparse morphologies\, reminiscent of those presented by intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) under the same dilute conditions. This similarity motivates the use of synthetic SCNPs as mimicking nano-objects for IDP to investigate structural as well as dynamical aspects as functions of different variables. The proposed project aims to characterize the influence of increasing the concentration of the macromolecular environment of SCNPs and IDPs. In this way\, we try to extract universal features due to steric effects of the behavior of biomacromolecules in the crowded conditions typical for cellular environments. The study will be based on the application of scattering techniques\, in particular neutron scattering on deuterium-labeled samples\, as well as small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)\, static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS) available in our labs. Experience of the candidate in light scattering will be particularly appreciated. \nPROFILE: Scattering Experiments on crowded macromolecular solutions. We are looking for highly-motivated experimentalists with a PhD in condensed or soft matter physics or in material science. Previous experience with scattering techniques\, in particular light scattering\, will be highly valuated.

SUMMARY:POST-DOC POSITION in the ESPCI-TOTAL joint laboratory
DESCRIPTION:This post-doc will work on the lab research for the project of “polymer enhanced foam”. The main working place is at the joint laboratory Physico-chemistry of Complex Interfaces between the SIMM laboratory at ESPCI and TOTAL\, in Lacq. \nThis work focuses on the consequences of interactions between surfactants and polymers at the water/gas interface\, and it consequences on foam stability. The influence of several physical parameters will be investigated\, such as (1) the electrostatic charge of the surfactant and polymer\, (2) polymer molecular weight\, (3) hydrophobic interaction\, etc. The surfactant/ polymer foams will be tested for foam enhanced oil recovery. The work is mostly experimental\, and results will be either published or patented. \nAll the experiments will be performed in Lacq (France\, Atlantic Pyrenees\, 15km from Pau) \nRequirement: solid background in soft matter \nContact : leyu.cui@total.com

SUMMARY:PhD thesis: Damage mechanisms in insulating polymer materials under mechanical stress and high voltage : theory and simulations.
DESCRIPTION:We propose a theoretical PhD project for describing damaging mechanisms either under applied electrical field and under applied stress. This is a theoretical work which follows earlier experimental studies on damaging under mechanical stress [1] and an on-going project regarding damaging under applied electric field. The aim is to identify and describe the damaging mechanisms and to develop a theoretical model for both situations.  Currently\, we study the microscopic mechanisms under medium to high electric field\, in long lifetime regime. Dielectric properties of materials are investigated along electrical fatigue tests\, combined with microscopic structural characterization (tomography\, Ultra-small angle X-rays scattering\, etc…). The methodology we use is similar to the one we used for studying fatigue in semi-crystalline polymers and adapted to the specific considered subject. Based on these works\, theoretical model will be implemented into a 3D numerical model allowing to study the nucleation and growth of defects\, until final breaking of the material\, based on an already existing 3D mechanical model. The model will be compared to experimental results on both electrical and mechanical damage and ultimate failure. \nThis PhD is proposed within the context of a collaboration between Nexans\, a worldwide leading company for electric networking\, Solvay and Laboratoire Polymères et Matériaux Avancés (LPMA)\, within the context of the “Lyons Polymer Science and Enineering” collaboratibve network. The PhD will take place within LPMA. \nThe Solvay/CNRS Joint Laboratory (UMR: Unité Mixte de Recherche) ‘Advanced Materials Laboratory’\, is located near Lyon\, France. The objective of the lab is to develop fundamental research on physical properties of heterogeneous polymer materials\, in order to be able to propose innovative materials with tailored properties and improved usage properties for new applications. \nThis PhD project is suitable for applicants graduated in polymer physics and/or condensed matter physcis and/or statistical physics and/or mechanics and material science.

SUMMARY:PhD proposal: Microfluidic flow of biomimetic tissues
DESCRIPTION:The University of Montpellier offers three PhD grants to carry on a PhD in Physics in the Laboratory of Charles Coulomb (L2C)\, starting on October 2018 and for a duration of three years. In the context of this call Dr. Laura Casanellas and Prof. Gladys Massiera\, from the Soft Matter team at L2C\, offer the possibility of cosupervising a PhD Thesis on the ¨Microfluidic flow of biomimetic tissues¨. Collaborations with the University of Barcelona and the University Paris Diderot are foreseen. The period for online applications is from April 27th to May 28th and an audition will take place on early June 2018 for the selection of candidates. Interested candidates should contact L. Casanellas as soon as possible at:  laura.casanellas-vilageliu@umontpellier.fr \nDetails of the call can be found at: https://www.adum.fr/as/ed/voirproposition.pl?site=adumfr&matricule_prop=21027 \nProject description \nDuring embryogenesis\, tissues and organs develop through cell differentiation and reorganization. Individual and collective motion of cells leads to a flow tissue\, which can be observed during embryo development. Mechanical factors\, such as the intercellular adhesion or interactions of cells with their environment are key elements governing this process. Even though a large amount of studies based on animal models have enabled to make great progress on the comprehension of development\, they do not offer the possibility to easily decouple the role of different mechanisms. The goal of this project is to develop a simplified model tissue (but which still preserves some of the essential features of physiological tissues) with the aim of identifying the key physical mechanisms regulating the flow of tissues\, and in particular of understanding the role of cell-cell adhesion. \nPhD objectives \nThe PhD student will first work on the design of the artificial tissue by the controlled assembly of unilamelar giant vesicles (GUV)\, which represent a good biomimetic model for the study of the mechanical properties of cells. GUV can be fabricated using a microencapsulation technique based on the continuous passage of droplets through an interface (cDICE) developed recently in our laboratory\, which allows us to obtain monodisperse vesicles at high throughput. Next\, he/she will focus on the realization of flow experiments of the developed tissues in microfluidic chips of different geometries\, which mimic the physiological flows of living tissues. Image velocimetry methods will be used to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of the flow\, which will enable to validate the theoretical constitutive equation describing the flow behavior of artificial tissues. Eventually\, this study will contribute to get a full comprehension of the role of intercellular adhesion on the flow of living tissues\, which is a crucial biophysical mechanism in embryogenesis. \nPhD 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 Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Physics\, Biophysics or Physical Chemistry. Previous knowledge on microfluidics\, microscopy\, and/or image analysis will be appreciated.  An intermediate English level is required. \n
