1-year Fixed Term Postdoc in Active Soft Matter (deadline: 18th February)
Published:
I would like to advertise a 1-year Fixed Term Postdoctoral Position in Active Soft Matter to potential interested candidates.
The candidate will be based at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, the Open University (hybrid working possible) and may pursue one of the following research projects:
(i) Growing active matter: combining microscopic modelling and simulations (e.g., Brownian dynamics) with continuum approaches (e.g., statistical field theory) to study the macroscopic behaviour of proliferating active systems such as biological tissues and biofilms. Cameron, Tjhung, PRE (2025)
(ii) Interfacial phenomena: bridging macroscopic interfacial properties—such as surface tension and emulsion stability—to the underlying microscopic physics of forces and torques. For example, the candidate may investigate how anisotropic particles at fluid–fluid interfaces give rise to large-scale hydrodynamic phenomena. Hardy et al., to appear in JFM (2026)
