B1 lit. b (postdoc) Reference no.: 5611 The University of Vienna is one of Europe’s leading research universities, committed to excellence in research and teaching. We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the international French-Austrian project ChirTrans: Chiral transport controlled by flow microstructure co-financed by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Where you will be: The position is hosted by the research group Computational and Soft Matter Physics at the Faculty of Physics in the group of Dr. Andreas Zöttl. About the project: ChirTrans investigates how chirality of swimming bacteria determines their active transport processes in complex microstructured heterogeneous environments and in complex shear flows. It combines computational and theoretical modeling at the University of Vienna with experiments performed at ESPCI Paris. Our previous work demonstrated the importance of bacterial chirality in transport in simple microchannel flows and near plane surfaces. ChirTrans now aims to uncover how chirality impacts bacterial transport in more complex microstructured environments. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to internationally visible, frontier research. You will have the chance to help build and shape a high-impact interdisciplinary research group while working on your own research.
