job

There is an open position for a predoc-level part-time research and teaching assistant at the Institute of Lightweight Design and Strucutral Biomechanics, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria.

One postdoctoral research associate position is available (dates negotiable). The successful candidate will work on one or multiples of the following topics: mechanics of morphogenesis in plants and embryos, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's rapid closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (e.g., DNA, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and bioinspired structures. The candidate should have received (or expect to receive very soon) a Ph.D.

We will soon be looking for a tandem of 2 faculty members: one senior, with management, leadership and funding track-record, another more junior (assistant/associate professor level) to work in tandem with the first. Adverts should come out soon, but feel free to get in touch with me should you require more information. Stéphane  - stephane dot bordas at alum dot northwestern dot edu
