Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Rheology : Freising, Germany
The newly established research group Fluid Dynamics of Complex Biosystems headed by Prof. Dr. Natalie Germann has an open position for a postdoctoral researcher in the field of experimental rheology.
FIELD OF WORK
The research of Professor Germann’s fluid dynamics group focuses Ｏn the rheology of viscoelastic fluids that are of industrial relevance (e.g. wormlike micelles, polymeric solutions). The reason for the unusual rheological properties of viscoelastic fluids is their microstructural dynamics. To establish a more fundamental understanding of viscoelastic fluids, her research group investigates the relationship between their rheology and their microstructure. The research approach combines thermodynamic modeling and numerical simulation with laboratory experiments. More information about Professor Germann’s fluid dynamics group can be found at http://germann.wzw.tum.de/.
YOUR PROFILE
We are looking for talented individuals who are interested in pursuing an academic career. As Professor Germann’s research group has been newly established, the candidate will have the responsibility to set up a new experimental lab. He/she should be able to work independently as well as to cooperate in our interdisciplinary team. The applicant should hold a PhD (or equivalent degree) and have a strong background in fluid mechanics and rheology. Previous experience with velocimetry measurements is required. Fluent spoken and written English is expected.
OUR OFFER
The Technische Universität von München (TUM) is Ｏne of the most renowned universities in Europe. We are offering excellent working conditions in a highly international research environment. The salary is in accordance to the Public Sector Collective Agreement Ｏn Länder (TV-L).
