We welcome applications from enthusiastic and well qualified scientists who would like to join our group to work on analytical and/or computational projects in soft matter, statistical physics and biophysics. Our research is interdisciplinary and group members have backgrounds in physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering and computer science. Projects will be related to the work described on our web pages and can be tailored to suit the interests of the individual.

More opportunities are available at the Department of Living Matter Physics at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, where Professor Golestanian is now primarily based.
