This postdoctoral research position is part of the CoLiFlow project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), and focuses on the physical mechanisms governing the formation, stability and dynamics of foams in mixtures of organic liquids. The project sits at the intersection of soft matter physics , interfacial physico-chemistry and fluid mechanics. The researcher will investigate how liquid properties and flow conditions influence foam formation and lifetime, addressing unresolved qu...

Postdoctoral position at Aix-Marseille Université / LAI (Marseille-Luminy) in the project Modelling bacterial transport strategies in real-life environments . This postdoc sits at the interface of biophysics, active matter, stochastic transport, porous-media physics, and optimal control . The project studies magnetotactic bacteria , which align with Earth’s magnetic field while responding to chemical and oxygen cues. A key scientific goal is to understand how these bacteria navigate in heterogen...

Questions
Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
