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.

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

SUMMARY:Full Professor position at ESPCI
DESCRIPTION:ESPCI Paris-PSL is recruiting a Professor in the field of polymer physics and soft matter in the broadest sense.\nSince the days of Georges Champetier and Pierre-Gilles de Gennes\, the ESPCI (https://www.espci.psl.eu/fr/) has been a center of excellence for polymers and soft matter in the center of Paris. It is constantly adapting its activities with a recent focus on sustainability issues.\nResearch profile: The research will take place in the ESPCI Soft Matter Science and Engeenring et laboratory (SIMM\, UMR CNRS 7615\, https://www.simm.espci.fr/). This laboratory is unique in that its research activities bring together physicists\, physical chemists and mechanics. The subjects covered\, often related to industrial processes\, are all those that mobilize the fundamental knowledge of soft matter\, such as rheology\, flows\, wetting\, adhesion\, mechanical properties\, including fracture and adhesion\, but always in relation to the physical chemistry of the system. The candidate’s activity and expertise profile is therefore broad\, but the core competence is that of soft matter physics\, with a strong ability to integrate into multi-disciplinary research activities linked to chemistry\, physical chemistry\, mechanics and industrial processes in the broadest sense.\nTeaching profile: As a Professor\, you will mainly teach in the engineering cycle at ESPCI Paris-PSL\, and in part in PSL masters programs.\nIn the 2nd year of the curriculum\, you will be asked to propose an introductory course in the physics and physical chemistry of polymers and soft matter\, focusing on structure-property relationships. This physics course should fit in with existing courses in polymer chemistry and physical chemistry.\nRequirements: PhD in Physics or Materials Science. Significant research experience in one of the fields defined in the research profile. A reasonable command of the French language is required.\nTimetable: Position opening not yet determined\, but probably early April. Employement is expected to begin at the start of the 2024 academic year.\nContact : Jean-Baptiste d’Espinose <jean-baptiste.despinose@espci.fr>\, deputy directeur of the SIMM laboratory.

SUMMARY:15 PhD Fellowships funded by the Marie-Curie Industrial DN "CoCoGel"
DESCRIPTION:15 PhD Fellowships in Soft Matter funded by EU research project CoCoGel: \n“Controlling Colloidal Gels for Novel Sustainable Materials” \n https://cocogel.iesl.forth.gr/ \nCoCoGel is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Industrial Doctoral Network (DN) (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-DN-01-01) aiming to provide integrated training for early career researchers\, enabling them to achieve scientific excellence and set the foundations of their future careers. \nCoCoGel is seeking 15 motivated PhD Candidates (DCs) in the field of Soft Condensed Matter. The Network involves leading experts in 6 academic and 6 industrial nodes. The network provides state-of-the-art expertise in experimental techniques\, computer simulations\, and industrial systems which will provide a collaborative and stimulating environment for the candidates. Applicants must hold a Master’s Degree in Physics/Chemistry/Chemical Engineering/Materials science or other relevant disciple. Each DC will be enrolled in the PhD program of one of the academic partners. A very competitive EU funding is offered for 36 months. \nTo qualify for the positions\, you cannot have resided or carried out your main activity (work\, studies\, etc.) in the Host country for more than 12 months in the 36 months preceding the recruitment start date. \nCoCoGel overarching goal \nTransformative advances in product formulation are required to meet the demand for sustainability across a wide range of EU-priority industrial areas. Colloidal gels – complex\, out-of-equilibrium soft matter systems – are core components in many formulations\, including building materials (e.g. cement)\, energy materials (e.g.\, batteries and fuel cells)\, consumer care and food products\, and medicine. Because of their complexity\, current industrial practice in product formulation remains limited to trial and error. Recent advances in colloidal-gel physics strongly imply that the rational design of colloidal gel properties is within reach. This design is based on tuning gel microstructure via external stimuli\, such as shear\, ultrasound\, and (magnetic/electric) fields\, and the addition of non-Brownian inclusions. \nThe CoCoGel doctoral network will focus on these new routes to controlling colloidal gel microstructure\, and will enable the translation from the current academic state of the art to industrial practice. We will bring together academic and industrial partners to realize the creation of new sustainable materials and production processes. The CoCoGel industrial doctoral training network will leverage and extend existing collaborations\, to train a new generation of researchers with both multi-disciplinary expertise in soft materials and practical experience engaging with industry. These will drive further sustainable development over a wide range of European industries. \nFor details of each PhD project see: https://cocogel.iesl.forth.gr/esr-projects \nEnquiries should be addressed to the CoCoGel Project Manager Dr. D. Ljumovic (cocogel@iesl.forth.gr) and to the relevant partner contact below: \n\nFORTH\, Greece (coordinator\, G.

SUMMARY:Topical SoftComp Workshop: Intelligent Soft Matter
DESCRIPTION:The field of soft matter has undergone significant evolution in the past decade\, transitioning from a focus on nanoparticle-based soft matter and 2D materials to bioinspired\, functional\, and responsive materials. The next ambitious step involves the development of intelligent or cognizant soft matter as a new frontier\, where materials may possess properties that enable them to comprehend the environment and generate a response. This includes advancements in swarm intelligence\, soft robotics\, and 4D materials that can change shape over time in response to external stimuli. This innovative concept aims to bridge the gap between self-learning\, adaptive soft materials and sensors\, artificial intelligence and decision-making in distributed systems. Furthermore\, it can contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between the microstructure of materials and their ability for autonomous and decentralized decision making and response. Finally\, intelligent artificial soft systems might be instructive for a better understanding of biological systems\, moving toward the knowledge-based design of synthetic cells with life-like functions.
