Location: National Research Council of Italy c/o Physics Department, University of Rome “Sapienza”
- Postdoc: Experimental Postdoctoral Research in Active Matter Physics
The Institute for Chemical-Physical Processes, at Rome “Sapienza” University has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (3 years) to undertake theoretical/experimental research in dynamics of self propelled micro-organisms.
The research activity will be developed in the framework of the project “Driving micro-devices with biological active matter ” financed for the years 2011-2013 by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) within the Fundamental Research Investment Funds (FIRB). Principal Investigator of the project is Roberto Di Leonardo (CNR-IPCF). The project aims at combining frontier research tools for 3D optical micro-manipulation and state-of-the-art micro-fabrication techniques to gain privileged point of view on bacterial dynamics. Numerical and theoretical tools, borrowed from statistical and condensed matter physics, will provide the starting point for a quantitative understanding of the observed phenomena.
