If you are interested in MSCs' or PhDs' project to be realized in our laboratory please do not hesitate to contact our group leader.

Open positions:

Two post-docs positions are available (deadline 10 December 2020).

Post-doc 1

The main tasks that will be realized within the post-doc position #1 are measurements, analysis, and interpretation of data related to mechanical, adhesive, and rheological properties of living cells (bladder, pancreas and melanoma cells) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Measurements will be carried out on cells culture/immobilized on lectin-modified surfaces.

Requirements:

  • Ph.D. in physics (physics, biophysics, related sciences)
  • maintaining cell cultures
  • working in the laboratory with biological material (including cells and proteins)
  • conducting AFM-based, not exclusively, measurements on biological material together with data analysis
  • knowledge of methods of statistical verification of obtained results
  • English at the level of B2 (written and spoken).

Detailed description is included under the link https://www.ifj.edu.pl/kariera/oferty-pracy/naukowe/adiunkt-asystent or in the file post-doc-open-call.

Employment according to regulations included in the Grieg guide for applicants

Post-doc 2

The main tasks that will be realized within the post-doc position #2 is development of theoretical approaches modelling the link between mechanical and rheological properties of cells in term of various cell adhesion and comparing the results with known mechanical models. In parallel, the software development is expected.

Requirements:

  • Ph.D. in physics (physics, biophysics, related sciences)
  • advanced programming in Python or Java
  • knowledge of mathematics at the level of algebra and analysis at the University level
  • knowledge of methods of statistical verification of obtained results
  • English at the level of B2 (written and spoken).
