Postdoctoral Position Available: Rheology and Modelling of Gels and Tissues

This postdoctoral position focuses on the rheology and modeling of gels and biological tissues, requiring advanced expertise in soft matter physics, materials science, or bioengineering. Candidates should have a strong background in rheological measurement techniques to characterize the mechanical properties and flow behavior of complex fluids and soft solids such as gels and tissues. Proficiency in computational modeling and simulation methods is essential to develop and validate theoretical frameworks describing the viscoelastic and nonlinear mechanical responses of these materials. Experience with constitutive modeling, finite element analysis, or other numerical methods to simulate deformation and stress distribution in gels and tissues is highly desirable. The role demands a solid understanding of polymer physics, biomechanics, or related disciplines to interpret experimental data and correlate microstructural features with macroscopic mechanical behavior. Candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree in physics, materials science, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a closely related field, with demonstrated research experience in rheology and modeling. Strong analytical skills, familiarity with relevant software tools for data analysis and modeling (e.g., MATLAB, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar), and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment are important. Effective communication skills for disseminating research findings through publications and presentations are also required. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to fundamental understanding and technological advances in the mechanics of soft materials relevant to biomedical and material science applications.
