For the independent research group “Theory of Biological Fluids” headed by Dr. David Zwicker we seek to fill a

Postdoctoral Position (M/F/d) in Biological Physics

The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization is an international research institute in Göttingen, Germany. It performs both experimental and theoretical fundamental scientific research and currently employs about 300 people.

The research

The research group aims to understand how biological organisms organize soft and fluid-like material. They currently focus on the organization principles of liquid droplets in biological cells, but they are also interested in broader questions in biological physics. They generally combine analytical insight from simple systems with more detailed numerical simulations to unveil biological design principles. Additionally, they build tailored models to interpret experimental data of collaborators.

**Profile**:
We are looking for excellent, enthusiastic, and self-motivated researchers with good communication skills to join our research team. The postdoctoral researcher should have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, or a related field as well as an interest in biological and soft matter physics.

Our Offer

We are offering excellent working conditions in a highly international and interdisciplinary research environment. The postdoctoral position is for two years initially with the possibility of extensions. Salary and working hours follow the funding guidelines of the Max Planck Society for scientists: Working hours are fulltime; salary is E13 TVöD-Bund. Furthermore, we offer opportunities regarding work-life balance as well as health promotion services. The starting date is flexible.
