Postdoc/PhD Student Position in Soft Materials
03.12.2017, Wissenschaftliches Personal
The research group “Fluid Dynamics of Complex Biosystems” (FDCB) headed by Prof. Dr. Natalie Germann has an open position in the field of experimental rheology.
Area of research
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, polymer and biopolymer 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 laboratory experiments with thermodynamic modeling and numerical simulation. More information about the FDCB group can be found at http://germann.wzw.tum.de/.
Your profile
We are looking for talented individuals who are excited about research and innovation. The applicant should have good communication skills and be able to cooperate with an interdisciplinary team of researchers. He/she should hold a PhD/Master degree in engineering (preferably chemical engineering) and have expertise in experimental rheology. Fluency in both written and spoken English are required. So that he/she can actively participate in the teaching and project activities of the FDCB group, professional German language skills are essential.
