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:PhD position at UniVe on "Topological materials for novel (opto)electronic switches" (deadline 31.05.2023)
DESCRIPTION:During the last 7 decades\, the miniaturization of silicon CMOS transistors has led to the development of electronic switches with increased speed and reduced power consumption and costs. As a result\, electronics is nowadays ubiquitous. However\, when these devices are reduced to nanoscale dimensions\, they suffer from thermal dissipation phenomena that compromise their performance. To overcome these limitations\, new switching mechanisms are necessary. Rather than being based on the transport of electric charge\, these switches should focus on unraveling and harnessing quantum phenomena. Researchers are currently investigating “topological” materials that could potentially offer access to transport phenomena without energy dissipation\, even in adverse measurement environments. The combination of electronic and spin properties has made the use of topological devices a great challenge. The focus of thisresearch will be on analyzing the electronic and optoelectronic properties of atomically thin compounds such as 2D materials with strong spin-orbit coupling\, with the goal of integrating them into novel electronic devices. Some of the research in this project may be performed in collaboration with the CNR-IOM in Trieste\, Italy.\nTASKS\nTasks will include but will not be limited to the following:\n• Synthesis of nanomaterials with techniques such as micromechanical cleavage\, physical and chemical vapor\ndeposition.\n• Characterization of their fundamental properties via a variety of microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.\n• Nanofabrication of devices through lithography techniques\, contact and vacuum deposition and etching.\n• Electronic transport and optoelectronic measurement performed on the final device.\nThe PhD student will also be required to spend a minimum of six months abroad in an institution TBD (possible\ndestinations could be the University of Cambridge (UK)\, The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) or the Swiss\nFederal Institute of Technology Lausanne (Switzerland).\nPREREQUISITES\n• Good scientific (at least theoretical) background in the field of nanomaterials and characterization techniques.\n• Basic experience in the fields of electronics and/or optoelectronics.\n• Programming skills.\n• Advance knowledge of the English language \nDEADLINE FOR APPLICATION\n• The deadline for applications is on 31/05/2023.\n• More information on the application procedure can be found at this link: https://www.unive.it/pag/43333/\nCONTACTS\nFor additional information on the topic please do not hesitate to contact:\n• Dr. Domenico De Fazio\, domenico.defazio@unive.it\n• Dr. Giovanni A.

The successful candidate will become a member of Group T Leuven Campus\, an international and entrepreneurial engineering campus with a focus on healthcare engineering and sustainability (https://www.kuleuven.be/grouptcampus). It is one of seven campuses where KU Leuven’s educational Faculty of Engineering Technology is offering academic yet implementation-oriented engineering programs across Flanders. Each year more than 2200 students enrol at Group T Leuven Campus in Bachelor and Master in Engineering Technology programs that are offered in both English and Dutch. The new faculty member will also become a member of KU Leuven’s research Department of Chemical Engineering\, and in particular its SMaRT (Soft Matter\, Rheology and Technology) unit. Research at SMaRT aims at designing methodologies for intelligent process or product (formulation) design using complex fluids or soft matter. Hence\, the research is situated at the intersection of classical chemical engineering (transport phenomena) and soft matter physics and chemistry. From a materials point of view\, the two most important classes studied are polymers and colloidal dispersions. The faculty\, department and campus can build upon solid research and educational infrastructure\, extensive regional\, national and international networks\, and connections with companies and non-profit organisations in Belgium and abroad. \nApplication deadline: 7 November 2023

SUMMARY:Soft Matter & Environmental Challenges - Minicolloquium at CMD30 conference
DESCRIPTION:We are organizing a minicolloquium (MC) during the 30th general conference of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society to be held in Milan (Italy) on September 4-8\, 2023\, jointly organized with FisMat\, the biennial conference of the Italian community of condensed matter physics\, optics\, liquids and soft matter. (see https://eventi.cnism.it/cmd30-fismat) \nThe topic of the MC is “Soft Matter and Environmental Challenges” (https://eventi.cnism.it/cmd30-fismat/minicolloquia). This MC aims at bringing together all scientists who belong to the broad soft condensed matter community and its interfaces and whose research contributes to a rational understanding and design of approaches\, tools and materials for the development of a more sustainable future. We anticipate that the minicolloquium will be the occasion to make a rather exhaustive inventory of the research conducted in the field of soft matter in relation to the environmental challenges that the world is currently facing. \nConfirmed invited speakers: E. Del Gado and M. Corredig. \nAbstract submissions for both poster and oral presentations are open until April the 15th.  \nWe also kindly ask you to distribute this announcement among your potentially interested colleagues and students. \nThanks and regards \nLaurence Ramos\, on behalf of the Soft Condensed Matter and Biophysics section of the CMD: Mikko Alava (Aalto University\,Finland)\, Nuno Araujo\, Secretary (Lisbon University\, Portugal)\, Daniela Kraft (Leiden University\, The Netherlands)\, Catherine O’Sullivan (Imperial College London\, UK)\, Laurence Ramos\, Chair (CNRS&Montpellier University\, France)\, Anna Stradner (Lund University\, Sweden)\, Dimitris Vlassopoulos (Forth\, Crete\, Greece)\, Emanuela Zaccarelli (Sapienza University of Rome\, Italy).

SUMMARY:Active matter in complex environments
DESCRIPTION:Type: PhD position\nStart: 2024\nDuration: 4 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)\nBiological fluidic environments are highly complex and messy. They are usually non-Newtonian\,\nand often heterogeneous and anisotropic [1]. Swimming of active microorganisms in such complex\nenvironments dates back to the earliest days of biological evolution. An understanding of such\nswimming will provide one of the keys to unravel a fundamental question in evolutionary biology:\nwhat are the origins of multicellularity? [2]. Confining boundaries\, either rigid or deformable\, add yet\nanother level of complexity to understanding the physics of swimming microorganisms. Advanced\nexperimental\, computational\, and analytical techniques have recently allowed scientists to gain some\ninsight into this interdisciplinary problem at the confluence of physics\, applied mathematics\, and\nbiology. However\, there are several fundamental questions related to the influence of the complexity of\nthe fluid and the confinement on the swimming behavior of microorganisms that are still unanswered. \nWe are looking for a highly motivated and skilled PhD candidate who will experimentally investigate the fundamentals of swimming active micoorganisms in complex environments under various\ndegrees of confinement. You will use state-of-the-art microscopic imaging systems to observe the\nmotile behavior of one (or multiple) biological (and/or synthetic) microswimmers in non-Newtonian\nfluids in the presence of a rigid (or deformable) confinement. The experiments will be complemented\nby theoretical and/or numerical modeling. The project represents a paradigm shift in understanding the motility of microorganisms in realistic complex environments\, and may provide fundamental\nunderstanding of the (bio)physical principles underpinning the origins of multicellularity. \nYour profile:\n– A successfully completed MSc (or equivalent) degree in (applied) physics\, molecular life sciences\, mechanical engineering\, chemical engineering\, applied mathematics\, or in a closely related discipline.\n– Experimental experience\, fundamental knowledge of fluid dynamics\, and experience in image and data analysis are required.\n– You have strong communication skills\, including fluency in spoken and written (scientific and non-scientific) English.\n– You have strong analytical capabilities.\n– You are proactive in coming up with innovative solutions to experimental challenges. \nYour responsibilities:\n– To design and perform experiments on active microswimmers in complex fluids.\n– To discuss and disseminate results among peers\, the scientific community\, and the broader\nsociety in general.\n– To collaborate with colleagues having complementary expertise.\n– To supervise bachelor and master students. \n  \nOur offer:\n– We want you to play a key role in an ambitious project in an inspiring and stimulating international work environment.\n– We provide excellent mentorship and a stimulating\, modern research environment with world-class research facilities.\n– You will have an employment contract for the duration of 4 years\, and can participate in all employee benefits the university offers.\n– You will be embedded in a dynamic research group with colleagues working on similar topics.\n– Additionally\, Wageningen University and Research is a green campus with excellent facilities and resources for professional and personal development\, and offers a wide variety of sports facilities.\n– You will follow a high-quality personalized educational program.\n– The research will result in a PhD thesis at the end of the employment period.\n– We strive for diversity and fairness in hiring.\nApplications should provide:\n– A motivational letter (1 page max) describing why you want to apply for this precise position\,\nincluding your research interests/experience and how they connect to this position.\n– A detailed CV.\n– Academic transcripts from your bachelor’s and master’s degrees.\n– Name and email addresses of at least two visible references who are willing to send a letter of\nrecommendation on your behalf.\n– An interview with a scientific presentation on your previous work will be part of the interview\nprocess.\nPotential applicants are encouraged to apply to Asst. Prof. Uddalok Sen at uddalok.sen@wur.nl\, or here: PhD position in ‘Active matter in complex environments’ – WUR
