Our Chair of Mathematics in Life Sciences at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen- Nürnberg (FAU) develops and applies methods of statistical physics to understand complex biological phenomena ranging in scale from DNA molecules to multi-cellular systems. As a part of the recently founded interdisciplinary Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (https://www.mpzpm.de/) we are contributing to the exciting research at the interface of physics, biology and medicine.
We are currently looking for outstanding candidates to fill Ph.D. & Postdoctoral positions
We are looking for applicants with expertise in the areas of theoretical-, statistical-, mathematical-, and/or biological-physics, applied mathematics and computer science with strong interest in biology/medicine who enjoy interdisciplinary work. Find more information in our job offer.
We also provide projects for excellent Bachelor and Master students; if you are motivated to work on projects at the interface of physics and biology using computational methods, please contact Prof. Vasily Zaburdaev (vasily.zaburdaev@fau.de).
