ERC-Funded PhD Project in Experimental Mechanobiology and Active Matter

Niels Bohr Institute
Faculty of SCIENCE


University of Copenhagen

The Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Mechanobiology and Active Matter. The project is part of the research project “PhysCoMeT”, which is financed by the Eurpean Union’s ERC Starting Grant.

Start date is (expected to be) 1 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

Active matter comprises a wide range of living systems including cells, bacteria, and subcellular filaments, as well as artificial and synthetic materials that are continuously driven far from equilibrium by their constituent elements. Fundamental biological processes such as cell division, cell death, and the emergence of coordinated motion of cells are governed by the activation of biochemical signals by mechanical stresses and by the physics of active matter. This research project will use experimental investigation of collective cell organization with potential applications in the life sciences.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates with the knowledge on experimental active matter and mechanobiology.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

At the Active Intelligent Matter Group we combine multiscale modeling – discrete and continuum simulations - with in-house experiments to address various aspects of complexities in active materials. This spans a wide range of problems from revealing the impact of mechanical forces on biochemical signalling in cells, investigating the dynamics of bacterial competition, to design and control of bio-inspired materials that are capable of self-organization, self-healing, and self-pumping.

We offer a highly creative and collaborative research atmosphere at the interface between physics, biology and fluid mechanics. The PhD fellowship is given in accordance with Danish legislation and will typically run for 3 years. The salary is set accordingly to Danish Union Contracts which are quite competitive on an international scale.

The group is a part of Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and high performance computing facilities.

Principal supervisor is Prof. Amin Doostmohammadi, Niels Bohr Institute, [xxxxx] +[xxxxx].
