The heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture is nowadays still crucial for the food supply. However, this practice leads to significant environmental and health issues, including poisoning, environmental degradation, and the development of insecticide resistance. EU policies and the UN Sustainable Development Goals advocate for safer, more sustainable alternatives like biopesticides. BIOMAC-BP (Bio-Stabalized Multi-Phase Materials as Carriers for Biopesticides) is a Marie-Sklodowska-Curie doctoral network addressing the issue of synthetic pesticide use by developing sustainable biopesticide formulations. The international consortium brings together experts from soft-matter physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, microbiology, biophysics and agricultural science, and combines industrial and academic perspectives. The project's main objective is to develop and optimize novel bio-sourced materials to incorporate bacteria capable of producing biopesticides, enhancing the benefits and sustainability of the formulations. This effort aims to reduce synthetic pesticide emissions, improve agricultural practices, and support a greener future for the chemical industry. One of the doctoral projects within the BIOMAC-BP programme will be carried out at the Institute for Advanced Simulation - Theoretical Physics of Living Matter (IAS-2)
**Your Job**:
The aim is to characterize the behaviour of microorganisms with motion restricted into complex environments such as bi-continuous surfaces, draining or sprayed foams. Models details are to be developed in close cooperation with the experimental partners to closely reproduce the properties of specific microorganisms. Your tasks will include:
- Familiarize with active matter general behaviour and acquire specific knowledge of interaction with confining boundaries
- Code development and testing in C, C++, LAMMPS, Open MPI, and/or CUDA
- Analyze and interpret the results and design of further computing experiments
Publish research in high-impact journals and present at leading international conferences
**Your Profile**:
- You have both interest and experience in scientific programming
- Additionally, you need to be fluent in English, both oral and written
- You show enthusiasm for conducting original research in an interdisciplinary and international team, and you strive for scientific excellence
**Our Offer**:
Being part of the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie doctoral network BIOMAC-BP, you will benefit from
- Work in an interdisciplinary and international team of 14 peers and their supervisors
- Interdisciplinary scientific training in all fields relevant to the network’s scope
- Continuous scientific cross-disciplinary supervision by two scientific supervisors
- A broad variety of transferable skills training
- A four to six weeks secondment to an industrial BIOMAC-BP partner
- Excellent scientific networking opportunities
Attendance at national and international conferences and workshops
- Additionally, Forschungszentrum Juelich offers you
- Outstanding computing facilities at FZJ
- Enrollment in the PhD program of Cologne University
- Extensive company health management
- Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
