PhD Positions in Statistical Physics and Active Matter Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Germany

The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) in Göttingen, Germany is advertising several postdoctoral researcher positions in the Department of Living Matter Physics. The research focus is statistical physics , especially nonequilibrium statistical physics and active matter , with theoretical and computational work on the dynamics of living systems from a physical perspective. The department is led by Ramin Golestanian and includes a collaborative, interdisciplinary envi...

Postdoctoral position in Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany. The research group led by Sarah Loos works on statistical physics beyond equilibrium , including active matter, glassy dynamics, memory effects in nonequilibrium systems, optimal control strategies for active matter, and non-reciprocal phase transitions. The group studies energy and entropy flows, dynamical features, and the relationship between thermo...

Postdoc in Statistical Physics of Active Matter at the University of Luxembourg This position is based in the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) at the University of Luxembourg, within the Physics of Active Matter group and the Department of Physics and Materials Science. The project focuses on the statistical physics of active matter, with an emphasis on developing novel analytical and numerical techniques to study collective states in active systems. The research can be shaped ...

The PhD project focuses on the study of active matter systems, which are composed of individual units that consume energy to generate motion or mechanical forces, resulting in collective organization and behavior. Active matter is a rapidly growing field in physics, with examples ranging from bacterial colonies and cytoskeletons driven by molecular motors to motile cells in tissues and self-propelled particles. These systems are inherently out of equilibrium due to continuous energy injection at...

A 2-year funded postdoctoral position is available in the DATA team at the Département d’Informatique, École Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris, within the ANR-funded MAGICALL project: Mathematics of generative models: an interdisciplinary analysis of loss function landscapes . The project focuses on the theory and mathematical foundations of generative models, with particular emphasis on loss landscapes and high-dimensional learning. The DATA team develops foundational mathematical and algorithmic...
