Post Doctoral Research Associate

Title:
Post Doctoral Research Associate

Department:
Mathematical Sciences

Reports To:
Professor

Position Type:
Staff

Position Summary:
For this post doctoral position, the main task is to construct a
biophysical model for the spontaneous transition of a primary cilium from an
immotile state to a motile state. The PI (Dr. Young in the Department of
Mathematical Sciences) has established certain conditions for such
transitions based on results in literature. These conditions put various
constraints on the model, and the postdoctoral researcher is to work with the
PI to investigate the validity of such a constrained model.

Essential Functions:
The post doctoral researcher is expected to:
-Perform biophysical modeling
using both ordinary and partial differential equations, with insights from
dynamical analyses and matched asymptotic calculations.
-Be able to solve differential equations (both
initial-value and boundary-value problems) using numerical techniques.

Prerequisite Qualifications:
-PhD in
Applied Mathematics, Soft Matter Physics with skills in Modeling, Ordinary
Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, Partial Differential Equations.
-At the university's discretion, the education and experience prerequisites may be exempted where the candidate can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the university, an equivalent combination of education and experience specifically preparing the candidate for success in the position.

Preferred Qualifications:
-Techniques
in Modeling Fluid-Structure Interactions at zero Reynolds number, using
Boundary Integral Methods to simulate relevant systems, and applying
asymptotic analysis to study the underlying physics.

Bargaining Unit:
AFT-UCAN
