Are you a highly motivated and creative postdoc who would like to join our team to explore the rheology and fluid mechanics of complex and active fluids?
This position is based in the Fluidlab (part of the Soft Matter group at the Institute of Physics) where you will work on various aspects of experimental and theoretical micro- and macro-rheology, optical diagnosis, and capillary flows of viscoelastic and viscoplastic fluids.
You will design and build non-standard experimental tools based on shear rheometry, microscopy techniques, tomography methods, and diffusive wave spectroscopy to study interfacial flows of polymeric materials with free surfaces. You will closely collaborate with other experimentalists and theorists in the team and from external institutions, including the University of British Columbia and University of Cambridge.
Candidates with strong background in fluid mechanics and rheology and previous experience in experimental labs (e.g., imaging, fluid dynamics, instrumentation, rheology, optics, microscopy, or similar), programming (Python, C, etc.), and data analysis in physics, applied mathematics, or engineering, are strongly encouraged to apply.
