Stellenangebot vom 07.05.2025
In the Department of Living Matter Physics (LMP) we seek to fill a PhD position from July 2025.
The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) at Göttingen, Germany, is an international, interdisciplinary and collaborative environment offering an exceptional research setting. It hosts a range of theoretical and experimental fundamental scientific research and a diverse group of re-searchers. Altogether, it employs about 300 people.
The LMP department engages in a wide range of theoretical research aimed at understanding the dynamics of living systems from a physical perspective. The department is headed by Ramin Golestanian and hosts a number of group leaders, postdoctoral researchers, students, and visitors.
The research
The PhD students will engage in theoretical and/or computational research in Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics and Active Matter, under the supervision of Suropriya Saha. More information concerning our current areas of research activity.
Your profile
We are looking for excellent, enthusiastic and self-motivated early-career researchers with good communication skills to join our research team.
The PhD candidate should have:
- A Master’s degree (or comparable) in theoretical physics, applied mathematics or related disciplines from a recognized university;
- Strong interest in nonequilibrium statistical physics and the physics of living systems across the scales;
- Ability and desire to work in an international team on inter-disciplinary research topics;
- Good command of English, which is the working language of the department. German is an asset but not required.
