Beschreibung

The Simply Complex Lab of at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is looking for a

Postdoctoral researcher for soft condensed matter physics (m,f,x) for 2 years with 39,83 hours per week (TV-L E 14):
Simply Complex Lab focuses on understanding, controlling, and predicting emergent phenomena far from thermodynamic equilibrium.

Its research is at the intersection of soft condensed matter, complexity, nonequilibrium, and nonlinear physics and interfaces with materials science, nanotechnology, and mechanobiology.

The very nature of the lab's research program is interdisciplinary; it is led by experiments but also strongly theory-guided.
