Assistant Professor /Post-doctoral researcher
Offer DescriptionRecruitment is carried out in order to employ an assistant professor (post-doc) to carry out scientific tasks in the project of the National Science Center OPUS23 “Vascular tissue engineering on granular scaffolds: experiments and modeling”, 2022/45/B/ST8/03675. The appointment will be at the level of assistant professor in the Department of Modelling of Complex Systems at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, for the period of 24 months.The project will focus on constructing a numerical model of the capillary formation process in in vitro systems, inspired by experimental observations. The primary objective of the study is to develop a theoretical model describing the formation of new capillaries during angiogenesis. Two key factors influence growth at this stage: the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor, which is produced when cells experience hypoxia, and mechanical stresses in the extracellular matrix. The proposed research involves constructing a theoretical model, implementing it in numerical simulations, and comparing its predictions with experimental results, contributing to an improved understanding of the growth laws governing such networks.The candidates have to conform to the conditions stated in art. 113 of Higher Education Law dated 20.07.2018 (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2024, item 1571 with further amendments).Where to apply E-mailpa.szymczak@uw.edu.plRequirementsResearch Field Physics Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Engineering Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Mathematics » Applied mathematics Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsThe candidate should fulfil the following conditions: (i) hold PhD degree in physical sciences, mathematical sciences, earth sciences or engineering obtained not longer than seven years before appointment, (ii) have experience in mathematical modeling, simulation, data analysis and numerical methods (iii) demonstrate interest in the processes of spontaneous pattern formation in natural systems (iv) demonstrate knowledge of English allowing for communication with team members and writing scientific reports.Specific RequirementsAdditionally, the candidate must meet the conditions set by the National Science Center for people employed in a post-doc position.
