Does this sound like you? Then join our accomplished team! Your personal sphere of influence: As a university assistant prae doc, you will join the Soft Matter Experiments (SoMeX) Lab (https://somexlab.github.io/) led by Prof. Roberto Cerbino. The SoMeX Lab investigates the physical principles governing the behavior of soft and biological systems, focusing on both equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena, from the dynamics of yield stress fluids to the collective behavior of cells and bacterial collectives.Our lab is a center for methodological innovation and provides a world-class, integrated experimental environment. Our facilities allow for the entire scientific workflow—from sample preparation in our chemistry lab and cell culture lab to advanced characterization. Our imaging suite features several microscopes, including a CrestOptics X-Light v3 spinning disk mounted on a fully-automated Nikon Ti2-E, supported by high-end sCMOS cameras (Kinetix, Andor CB2, ORCA-Flash4.0 V3) and biological incubators. For mechanical probing, we utilize our custom-built ShearView linear rheometer and an Anton Paar MCR 702e Space custom rheomicroscope. We also leverage optical tweezers, 3D printing for synthetic and biocompatible materials, and our open-sourced fast DDM code for high-throughput Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM).What makes us special is our collaborative spirit. We maintain an active international research network with partners in Europe (Milan, Paris, Heraklion, Fribourg, Zurich, etc.) and abroad (USA, Canada, etc.), providing a high-profile platform for your doctoral studies and the ideal conditions to build or expand your own network. Your future tasks: You actively participate in research, teaching & administration, which means: You are involved in ongoing research projects and scientific studies in the areas of soft matter physics, biophysics and active matter, with a particular focus on some of the following topics: rheology and rheo-microscopy of complex fluids and soft materials; collective behaviour of cells and bacterial systems; microscopy and image analysis of biological and soft-matter systems; Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM), microrheology and light scattering; development of new experimental methods and instrumentation. You develop and pursue an original doctoral project within the research profile of the SoMeX Lab. We expect you to conclude a dissertation agreement within 12–18 months.
