About this position
PhD Candidate in Immunophysics at the Chair of Mathematics in Life Science at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Division of Immunophysics at the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine.
The research environment uses statistical physics, complex-systems approaches, and mathematical modeling to investigate emerging problems in biology and medicine. Potential research directions include infections associated with bacterial biofilms, autoimmunity, and autoinflammation, with the broader goal of developing quantitative methods for understanding biological and medical phenomena.
The doctoral researcher will join an interdisciplinary setting at the medical campus in Erlangen, where the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine supports close collaboration among physicists, mathematicians, biologists, medical researchers, interdisciplinary groups, and clinical researchers. The chair works at the interface of theoretical physics, applied mathematics, biological physics, and computational approaches to life-science questions.
Doctoral candidates may also enroll in the International Max Planck Research School “Physics from Light to Life,” providing an additional structured research and training environment.
