Universite Montpellier II

The new theoretical physics and statistical mechanics group at Universite Montpellier II in Montpellier, France is seeking candidates for 1 PhD student position (3 years – start: September/October 2012) and 1 postdoctoral fellow position (1 year + possibilities for extension – start: Fall-Winter 2012-2013).

Topics to be studied include: i) motor protein dynamics in intracellular phenomena; ii) non-equilibrium classical transport at molecular scales; iii) collective transport phenomena on complex networks; and iv) interface theory/experiments.

Candidates’ profile: interest for analytical/numerical approaches in biophysics and theoretical physics inspired by biological phenomena, statistical mechanics, stochastic processes, nonlinear phenomena. Contact Prof. Andrea Parmeggiani at andrea.parmeggiani@univ-montp2.fr.
