Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. lt develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">At the <b>Cluster of Excellence “Physics of Life” (PoL),</b> the<b> Heisenberg</b> <b>Chair of Biological Algorithms</b> (Prof. Benjamin M.

We study this question right at the interface of physics and biology in the model system of the duct network of the pancreas, which remodels from an initially plexus-like network to a tree optimized for fluid transport during development – supposedly by responding and remodelling to local flow. Together with our experimental collaboration partners, director Anne Grapin-Botton at the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, we want to find out (i) how do biological cells sense fluid flow using primary cilia? (ii) what are the flows in the duct network at every position and every point in time? (iii) how do duct networks remodel in response to flow? To tackle this multi-scale problem, you will develop mathematical and computational models of cilia flow sensing, fluid flow and dynamic network remodelling. You will analyse and integrate data from cell culture, organoids, ex vivo models to understand the physical principles that shape pancreas organ development. <i>More reading:</i> Dahl-Jensen et al. <i>Development</i> 2017.You will work closely with an experimental PhD student in the Grapin lab, while being embedded in the national network of the recently established Forschergruppe FOR5547 on cilia dynamics, which provides additional training opportunities, as well as the PoL, which provides a vibrant and inspiring environment.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Requirements:</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Outstanding university degree in physics, applied mathematics or related fields, experience and competence in mathematical modeling programming skills and experience in data and image analysis ideally, first exposure to biological physics and willingness to learn biology en route excellent communication and presentation skills in English, high self-motivation and independent, target- and solution-driven work attitude. <b>What we offer:</b> We offer the opportunity to shape an exciting research project in Theoretical Biological Physics, while developing your academic or professional career.
