SUMMARY:Protein self-assembly and aggregation in electric fields
DESCRIPTION:We are currently looking for a motivated PhD student or postdoc to work on protein self-assembly and aggregation in electric fields. Some details can be found below. We would be very grateful if you could forward this information to anyone who might be interested in the position. \nDetails:\nThe aim of the project is to explore the phase behavior of proteins under the influence of external electric fields: In how far can electric fields be used to direct protein self-assembly into condensed liquid droplets\, crystals and aggregates? Depending on the field strength and frequency\, several mechanisms are conceivable: field-induced stresses can alter the shape and internal structure of protein molecules\, the electric double layer can be deformed giving rise to changes in the electrostatic interactions\, and electric torques can align proteins. The effects of the solution conditions (protein concentration\, pH\, ionic strength) and electric field parameters (strength and frequency) on the proteins\, their state diagram and phase transition kinetics will be systematically investigated by the combined use of circular dichroism spectroscopy\, optical microscopy\, light and X-ray scattering. \nThe PhD candidate or postdoc will work at the Research Center Juelich within a common project with the Heinrich Heine University Duesseldorf. We are looking for a highly motivated experimental researcher with a solid background in physics\, chemistry\, or a related field\, preferably with knowledge in soft matter and/or biophysics. Experience with experimental research\, especially using microscopy and scattering techniques\, as well as excellent communication skills and computer skills will be highly beneficial. \nInterested candidates are welcome to contact us and encouraged to send their applications (including a detailed CV and lists of grades) electronically as a single PDF. Applications received by 25 January 2022 will be given full consideration. \nDr. K. Kang (FZ Juelich\, k.kang@fz-juelich.de\, https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=cXhAPQ4AAAAJ)\nDr. F.

SUMMARY:Postdoc Position Unina
DESCRIPTION:We are currently looking for a motivated Postdoc to work on Long Chain Branching in Polyolefins within the framework of GoLBraPol\, a research project funded by the Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI).\nThis Project focuses on the relationship between molecular architecture\, rheological and processing properties of Sparsely Long Chain Branched Polyolefins (SLCB-PO). A multidisciplinary approach to determine the rheological fingerprint of the SLCB architecture will be set up to link the flow properties to molecular architecture. This will provide the knowledge to govern SLCB processing and tune the mechanical properties of the final product. Experiments will be devised to require very small\, milligram-size amounts of polymer\, thus making it possible to use high throughput\, laboratory-oriented synthesis strategies. The results are expected to pave the way to the use of SLCB-POs in specific processing technologies. The possibility to predict and design the best SLCB-PO material for a specific application will also contribute to a better\, more responsible\, and sustainable use of polyolefins. \nThe duration of the fellowship is for one year and can be extended for one more year\, to be spent mainly at the University of Naples Federico II. We are looking for a highly motivated experimental researcher with a solid background in engineering\, physics\, chemistry\, or a related field\, preferably with knowledge of rheology and soft matter. Experience with experimental research\, especially using rheometry and processing techniques\, as well as excellent communication and computer skills will be highly beneficial. \nThe Postdoc position will be assigned based on a public competition. The starting of the activity is flexible\, in the time window between June and September 2022.\nInterested candidates can send a pre-selection email no later than April 15th\, 2022\, including a detailed C.V.\, to: \nNino Grizzuti (nino.grizzuti@unina.it)\nRossana Pasquino (rossana.pasquino@unina.it)\nSalvatore Costanzo (salvatore.costanzo@unina.it) \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional info:\n \nThe call for application is now open!\n\n\nYou can find information and documents here:\n\n\nhttp://www.unina.it/…/ICMPI_Bando_AR_06_2022_scad.08.04…\n\n\nDeadline: April 8th

SUMMARY:Postdoc position at Lund University: Characterising concentrated antibody solutions
DESCRIPTION:We have an open postdoc position in the Division of Physical Chemistry at Lund University on the biophysical properties of antibody solutions and their investigation with a combination of scattering techniques and computer simulations. \nMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are engineered proteins that can serve as substitute antibodies in the immune system. Due to their high potential in e.g. cancer treatment they attract enormous attention from the pharmaceutical industry. At the same time the formulation of high concentration injectable mAb biologics is very challenging as it is often severely limited due to high turbidity and/or high viscosity. \nIn this project we aim at establishing an approach to understand the origin of this behaviour and to predict it from low concentration data and mAb molecular structure. The postdoc we are looking for will apply a variety of static and dynamic scattering techniques (based on light and x-rays) on mAb samples\, including static and dynamic light scattering (SLS/DLS)\, small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS)\, and analyse the data. (S)he will also perform microrheology experiments\, establish mAb phase/state diagrams and closely work together with simulators and theoreticians in a concerted effort towards a better understanding of the complex solution behaviour of mAbs. \nRequirements are: \n\nPhD in Soft Matter Physics\, Biophysics\, Physical Chemistry or similar with a strong biophysical/biochemical background\,\nVery good oral and written proficiency in English\,\nExperience in protein and colloid science\,\nExperience in scattering techniques applied to soft and biological matter\,\nExperience in scattering data analysis\,\nExperience in collaboration with theoreticians and simulators\,\nExperience in protein sample preparation and handling.\n\nDeadline for application is 4 May 2022 \nMore information and a link for the on-line application can be found at: \nhttps://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:494678/

SUMMARY:Tenure-track Junior Professor Chair : New materials and processes with low environmental impact
DESCRIPTION:Research project\nThe scientific project carried out by the Chair is at the intersection of the disciplinary fields of process and material sciences involving the use of supercritical fluids. It will allow the development of studies which will aim at : \n – Intensifying the adequacy between the process and the material by improving the process efficiency. It can be achieved by integrating several functions in a single operation and by reducing the consumption of inputs (monomers\, additives\, catalysts…). The idea is to optimize the physico-chemical properties and/or reactive systems by supercritical fluids as reagents or carrier fluids to provide new functions or as plasticizers to transform heat-sensitive materials such as biobased polymers. \n – Making the use of polymeric materials safer in order to increase their recycling towards currently unthinkable applications by achieving total clean-up/purification: offering ultra-pure virgin or recycled polymers\, \n – Continuously generating materials with properties that are different from those currently proposed: high-performance materials\, nano-cellular polymer foams or polymer blends with controlled morphologies. \nThe deployment of the scientific project relies on a base of existing projects currently composed of 3 PhD on recycling and 4 projects on the purification and development of cellular materials. As soon as he/she is recruited\, the person hired will be integrated into the follow-up of the projects. He/she will also supervise the doctoral and post-doctoral students recruited. They will be assigned to the development of the coupling of fluids under supercritical conditions and polymer processing and\, more particularly\, they will endeavour to associate conceptual aspects at different scales and states of matter with the experimental part (constitutive laws and scaling laws for complex polymer/supercritical fluids under strong flows\, fundamental mechanisms involved in the elaboration of nano-foams assisted by supercritical fluids\, understanding of the clean-up processes integrated in a recycling operation). \nThe overall budget allocated to the project amounts to 650000 € including salaries. \nContacts   Head of the lab : Pr Jean-Charles Majesté\, majeste@univ-st-etienne.fr \nHost laboratory:\nThe Laboratory « Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères » (UMR CNRS 5223) is a research unit (70 senior scientists /130 Ph-D and postdocs) which focuses on polymer materials\, affiliated to CNRS\, University of Lyon\, INSA and to University Jean Monnet of Saint-Etienne). The laboratory has included in its roadmap the development of cross-disciplinary skills related to major societal challenges in both energy and environmental aspects\, including an approach to the development of materials with a virtuous life cycle. The person recruited at the Saint-Etienne site will be able to rely on the laboratory’s platform “FlusCritex” (unique in Europe) dedicated to the coupling of fluids under supercritical conditions and polymer processing. The development of this coupling approach requires the association of conceptual aspects at different scales and states of matter in addition to the experimental component. This conceptualization approach is an important research axis in the laboratory. \nTeaching project:\nThe person recruited as a tenure-track junior professor will be involved (64h/year) in the reinforcement of teaching on eco-design and the valorization of polymeric materials or their recycling\, which is one of the objectives of the new Master’s program “Chemistry and Materials Science”. The teaching project will thus participate in the more general dynamics within the establishment to develop the sustainable development and social responsibility theme in which the person recruited will be strongly involved\, for example in the design of opening and awareness units. \n

SUMMARY:15th Bombannes summer school on scattering applied to soft condensed matter
DESCRIPTION:The “Bombannes” summer school will take place from June 20th to 28th 2022 in Carcan-Maubuisson (Gironde\, France)\, and pre-registration is now open. \nThis school offers a one-week high-level training for PhD-students and young researchers every two years – 2020 had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. By nature\, scattering methods are well-suited for studying the structure and dynamics of systems organized on the nanoscale\, which is typically the case for polymers\, surfactants\, or colloidal systems\, i.e. the building blocks of Soft Matter. \nThe school starts with an introduction to instrumentation and experimental methods in scattering\, covering both dynamics and structural aspects. It teaches scattering theory (from data treatment to the inverse scattering problem) and special topics in the field of soft condensed matter\, including microemulsions\, biological applications\, colloidal aggregation\, polymer and polymer processing\, and scattering under external constraints. Lectures have been published in a successful book (Neutrons\, X-ray and Light: Scattering Methods Applied to Soft Condensed Matter; Lindner\, P. ; Zemb\, Th.; North Holland)\, which is included in the participation fee and distributed as lecture material to all students. \nNote that pre-registration before 20/02/2022 is mandatory\, and participants will be selected by the organizing committee – note the limited number of available places.

SUMMARY:Tenure-track Junior Professor Chair : New materials and processes with low environmental impact
DESCRIPTION:Research project\nThe scientific project carried out by the Chair is at the intersection of the disciplinary fields of process and material sciences involving the use of supercritical fluids. It will allow the development of studies which will aim at : \n– Intensifying the adequacy between the process and the material by improving the process efficiency. It can be achieved by integrating several functions in a single operation and by reducing the consumption of inputs (monomers\, additives\, catalysts…). The idea is to optimize the physico-chemical properties and/or reactive systems by supercritical fluids as reagents or carrier fluids to provide new functions or as plasticizers to transform heat-sensitive materials such as biobased polymers. \n– Making the use of polymeric materials safer in order to increase their recycling towards currently unthinkable applications by achieving total clean-up/purification: offering ultra-pure virgin or recycled polymers\, \n– Continuously generating materials with properties that are different from those currently proposed: high-performance materials\, nano-cellular polymer foams or polymer blends with controlled morphologies. \nThe deployment of the scientific project relies on a base of existing projects currently composed of 3 PhD on recycling and 4 projects on the purification and development of cellular materials. As soon as he/she is recruited\, the person hired will be integrated into the follow-up of the projects. He/she will also supervise the doctoral and post-doctoral students recruited. They will be assigned to the development of the coupling of fluids under supercritical conditions and polymer processing and\, more particularly\, they will endeavour to associate conceptual aspects at different scales and states of matter with the experimental part (constitutive laws and scaling laws for complex polymer/supercritical fluids under strong flows\, fundamental mechanisms involved in the elaboration of nano-foams assisted by supercritical fluids\, understanding of the clean-up processes integrated in a recycling operation). \nThe overall budget allocated to the project amounts to 650000 € including salaries. \nContacts   Head of the lab : Pr Jean-Charles Majesté\, majeste@univ-st-etienne.fr \nHost laboratory:\nThe Laboratory « Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères » (UMR CNRS 5223) is a research unit (70 senior scientists /130 Ph-D and postdocs) which focuses on polymer materials\, affiliated to CNRS\, University of Lyon\, INSA and to University Jean Monnet of Saint-Etienne). The laboratory has included in its roadmap the development of cross-disciplinary skills related to major societal challenges in both energy and environmental aspects\, including an approach to the development of materials with a virtuous life cycle. The person recruited at the Saint-Etienne site will be able to rely on the laboratory’s platform “FlusCritex” (unique in Europe) dedicated to the coupling of fluids under supercritical conditions and polymer processing. The development of this coupling approach requires the association of conceptual aspects at different scales and states of matter in addition to the experimental component. This conceptualization approach is an important research axis in the laboratory.

SUMMARY:Post doc position Unina-DPI
DESCRIPTION:We are currently looking for a motivated Postdoc to work on Long Chain Branching in Polyolefins within the framework of GoLBraPol\, a research project funded by the Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI).\nThis Project focuses on the relationship between molecular architecture\, rheological and processing properties of Sparsely Long Chain Branched Polyolefins (SLCB-PO). A multidisciplinary approach to determine the rheological fingerprint of the SLCB architecture will be set up to link the flow properties to molecular architecture. This will provide the knowledge to govern SLCB processing and tune the mechanical properties of the final product. Experiments will be devised to require very small\, milligram size amounts of polymer\, thus making it possible to use high throughput\, laboratory-oriented synthesis strategies. The results are expected to pave the way to the use of SLCB-POs in specific processing technologies. The possibility to predict and design the best SLCB-PO material for a specific application will also contribute to a better\, more responsible\, and sustainable use of polyolefins. \nThe duration of the fellowship is for one year and can be extended for one more year\, to be spent mainly at the University of Naples Federico II. We are looking for a highly motivated experimental researcher with a solid background in engineering\, physics\, chemistry\, or a related field\, preferably with knowledge of rheology and soft matter. Experience with experimental research\, especially using rheometry and processing techniques\, as well as excellent communication and computer skills will be highly beneficial. \nThe Postdoc position will be assigned based on a public competition. The starting of the activity is November 1st. \nThe call is available here:\nhttps://lnkd.in/dzymAfxu \nFor any info:\nNino Grizzuti (nino.grizzuti@unina.it)\nRossana Pasquino (rossana.pasquino@unina.it)\nSalvatore Costanzo (salvatore.costanzo@unina.it)

SUMMARY:PhD position: Computer simulations on the effect of DNA topology on SMC protein-mediated loop extrusion
DESCRIPTION:The compaction and folding of our two-meter-long genome into a confined micron-sized nuclear volume creates numerous challenges to a cell.  Chromatin loops are formed by an ATP-driven process—named loop extrusion—that progressively enlarges the loops by the motor action of SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) complexes including condensin and cohesin. \nIn this project we will undertake coarse-grained computer simulations of these processes to elucidate and potentially guide corresponding experiments at the MPI for Biophysics in Frankfurt. Particularly\, we will study the role of topological effects such as supercoiling or knotting on loop extrusion. This PhD project will take place in the group of Dr. Peter Virnau at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz\, Germany\, and is embedded in the collaborative research center 1551. Applications should be sent directly to virnau@uni-mainz.de.

SUMMARY:Postdoc position in Wageningen on "Confined multiphase multicomponent evaporation"
DESCRIPTION:Type: Postdoctoral researcher position\nStart: 2023\nDuration: 2 years\nLocation: Wageningen University and Research\, Wageningen\, The Netherlands\nGroup: Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter\nSupervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Uddalok Sen (Physics of Soft Matter lab)\nAre you curious about how liquids dry in confinement\, and how particles and/or living cells\naffect that drying behavior? Evaporation in a multiphase multicomponent system is ubiquitous in\nseveral biological and industrial processes [1]\, and leads to a multitude of interesting phenomena\nsuch as segregation and phase separation. When confined (e.g.\, in a capillary)\, such systems exhibit\neven richer physics such as stratification [2\, 3]\, clogging\, compaction\, and crystallization. The\nproperties of the liquids present in the evaporating multicomponent liquid mixture play a critical role\nin determining the overall evaporation dynamics\, which can be further complicated by the presence\nof salts\, surfactants\, particles (passive and active)\, polymers\, fibers\, and motile cells. However\, there\nare still several unanswered/open questions concerning the precise dynamics of the evaporation in\nconfined multiphase multicomponent systems. \nWe are looking for a highly motivated and skilled candidate for a postdoctoral researcher position who will experimentally investigate the fundamentals of evaporating multiphase multicomponent liquids in confined systems. The experimental system will comprise of a suspension of particles (axisymmetric/non-axisymmetric\, passive/active\, flexible/rigid\, monodisperse/polydisperse) in a multicomponent dispersing liquid. The candidate will use state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and particle tracking velocimetry\, and the work will be complemented by theoretical and/or numerical modeling.
