PhD Position in Soft-Matter Modeling for Mechanobiology

University of Groningen

  • Groningen, Netherlands
  • Biological sciences » Biology Engineering » Biomedical engineering Engineering » Materials engineering

A 4-year PhD position is available at the interface of biophysical modeling, soft matter and cell mechanobiology at the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen. What are you going to do? The project addresses a central question in mechanobiology: how do cells sense, encode and respond to mechanical cues? You will develop a quantitative and predictive framework that links the generation and transmission of mechanical forces to cell mechanics and intracellular signalling, with particular emphasis on mechanosensitive c
