6th December 2019 : Two postdoc positions on glass physics at ENS Paris, France

29th November 2019 : Postdocs – glasses & amorphous solids – ENS Paris

Dear colleagues,

please find below 2 postdoc offers.

Best regards, Ludovic Berthier

1) A post-doctoral positions is open at ENS Paris to work in
collaboration with Francesco Zamponi and Ludovic Berthier. The research
project concerns the low-temperature properties of glasses, and the
nature of their excitations and defects. We want to systematically
explore the microscopic nature of tunnelling Two-Level Systems (TLS) in
these systems, following up on our recent preprints [arxiv:1910.11168
and arxiv:1906.06894]. The candidate is expected to have at least some
background in the physics of glasses, and on standard computational
methods such as Molecular Dynamics. Experience with LAMMPS is welcome.

Please check https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/15616 for details

2) Applications are invited for a postdoc in theoretical statistical
mechanics, to work with Francesco Zamponi and Giulio Biroli at
ENS-Paris, in close collaboration with Grzegorz Szamel and Patrick
Charbonneau. The overall project focuses on obtaining a first-principle
statistical mechanics description of amorphous solids. The specific goal
for this position is to obtain a microscopic understanding of activated
hopping processes, which are elementary, non-perturbative corrections to
the mean-field description of liquids and glasses [see e.g.
arxiv:1407.5677]. Candidates should have a PhD in physics or related
field, with experience in the statistical mechanics of disordered systems.

14th November 2019 : Postdoc – theory/modeling block copolymer « soft crystals » – UMass Amherst

Dear colleagues,

I apologize, in advance, for the impersonal nature of this message.  I’m
writing because I’m actively searching for candidates for a
post-doctoral research position the area theoretical/computation
polymeric and soft materials at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst.  The research projects associated with this positions are
described below in the area of theoretical modeling of complex block
copolymer assemblies (e.g. “soft crystal” phases).  Please forward this
announcement to any interested, well-qualified candidates.

To apply for one of these positions, an interested applicant should
forward a CV and three letters of reference to grason@mail.pse.umass.edu
.  The position is to start as early
as January 2020 and are for one year, but with the intention for renewal
for at least one additional year pending suitable  performance/progress.

Sincerely,
Greg Grason

*Non-Canonical, Triply Periodic (e.g. “Soft Crystal”) Phases of
Block Copolymers*
*
*
I am seeking to hire an outstanding candidate for post doctoral
research in the area of theoretical modeling self-assembly of
triply-periodic network phases of block copolymers (BCP).  The
project, in collaboration with experimental research with Ned Thomas
(Rice) and Bryan Coughlin (UMass), aims to understand the molecular
design principles required to tailor the architecture of BCPs to
target equilibrium assembly of triply periodic network morphologies
beyond the canonical phases (e.g. gyroid and diamond network phases)
most often formed by BCPs or other soft matter systems.  The
postdoctoral research would develop and implement a combination of
self-consistent field theory, strong-segregation theory and
geometric methods to model the thermodynamic selection of
equilibrium symmetry and topology of network phases and its
dependence on complex BCP architecture.  The researcher would
contribute to and benefit from collaborative efforts to synthesize
and assembly new BCP architectures and characterize their complex 3D
self assembly via novel microscopy methods.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemical Engineering,
 Materials Science and Engineering or related fields, and specific
research experience in theory and/or computational model of soft or
polymeric materials.  Previous research experience in theoretical
methods of polymer physics and/or complex geometry of
self-organization soft materials is preferred.

LPTMS Internship Proposal: Self-assembly in space and time

Contact: Martin Lenz

Recent experimental developments have made assembling machines at the nanometer scales that mimic or even attempt to surpass the functions of biological objects an increasingly reasonable goal (see https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2016/summary/). Despite remarkable progress in manufacturing individual nanometer-sized objects with controlled shapes however (see an example in the illustration), assembling many of them into larger structures remains an open challenge and an active field of research.
In this project we will undertake an additional challenge, namely to self-assemble such objects not only in space, but also in time. Specifically, we will explore the design principles for DNA origami
particles produced by our collaborator Seth Fraden (Brandeis University, USA) to assemble over a given sequence over time, which will allow for an actin-like treadmilling (coordinated polymerization from one end, depolymerization from the other) of a polymer-like structure under e.g., temperature cycling. Such mechanisms could be key in controlling the motor action of prospective molecular machines.
In a second stage (e.g., during a PhD), the intern may develop simulations tools to optimize particle shapes for self-assembly of printed particles produced at PMMH in collaboration with Julien Heuvingh and Olivia du Roure. The successful applicant will have a taste for numerical simulations and working with experimentalists.

LPTMS PhD proposal : Localization in open quantum systems

Contacts: Alberto Rosso (LPTMS) and Laura Foini (IphT)

Understanding how a many-body quantum system thermalises and when, at the opposite, it keeps memory of the initial preparation is an extraordinary challenge which has attracted enormous attention.
Nowadays, most of the efforts focus on closed systems where the competition between disorder and interactions leads either to thermalization or many body localisation (MBL). In this context the presence of an external bath is believed to induce always thermalisation and destroy any fingerprint of localisation. This is in general not true. The goal of this project (an internship that can lead to a thesis) is to study localisation effects in open systems (e.g. in interaction with a thermal bath and eventually a drive). Two directions will be investigated:
▪ The quench of a many-body system prepared in a state out-of equilibrium and let evolve in a bath of harmonic oscillators
▪ The stationary state of a system in contact with a thermal bath and driven out of equilibrium by irradiation.
In the first case we will focus on non-perturbative effects induced by the strong coupling with the bath.
In the second example we are interested in the nature of the stationary state using a weak coupling Lindblad approach. The work is both numerical and analytical and has strong connections with NMR experiments.

3rd October 2019 : Postdocs in biophysics – Princeton and CUNY

Dear colleagues,

We are in the midst of our annual search for postdoctoral fellows, both
theorists and experimentalists, interested in the physics of biological
systems.

Our efforts at building an interactive and collaborative environment
have been invigorated by the establishment of the Center for the Physics
of Biological Function, https://biophysics.princeton.edu
, a joint effort between Princeton
University and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
 We are a group of fourteen faculty working on problems across the full
range of biological organization, from single molecules to groups of
organisms, united by our search for common physical principles
underlying the beautiful phenomena of life.

Center Fellows are an essential part of our intellectual community, and
will have the flexibility to initiate and pursue projects that span the
interests of multiple faculty mentors.  We have a particularly strong
culture of theory/experiment collaboration, and individual Fellows often
have played key roles in developing these collaborations.  Successful
fellows have come both from PhDs in biological physics and from more
traditional areas of physics; some have had as many as four different
faculty co-authors during their time with us, while some have written
papers only with other postdocs and students.

We ask your help in bringing this opportunity to the attention of your
young colleagues.  Applications must  be made via
https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=12904.
 We plan to start reading applications by 15 October, and interview a
first group of candidates on 18-19 November, so we hope that interested
candidates will act soon.  Start dates as early as February 2020 are
possible, and we expect all new Fellows to join us by Fall 2020.

In addition to the Center Fellow position, candidates interested in
combining research with a modest amount of teaching should consider
applying to the new Lewis-Sigler Scholars program at Princeton, which
again is looking for both theorists and experimentalists
https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=13061

Finally, please also nominate your best theory students for postdoctoral
fellowships at the Princeton Center for the Theoretical Sciences,
https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/nominations/index.xhtml?listingId=12881

If there are candidates whom you think we should encourage more
directly, simply reply to this message with their names and contact
information, and we can do the rest.

With thanks for your help, and best wishes,

30th September 2019 : Postdoc – Modeling evolution of bacteria in the gut – LJP, Paris

Postdoc position: Modeling evolution of bacteria in the gut (Laboratoire
Jean Perrin, Sorbonne Université, Paris)

Context and project:
The gut harbors a complex microbiota whose impact on our health is
currently being discovered. In particular, it can constitute a reservoir
of antibiotic resistance, both in humans and in farm animals. Indeed,
99% of the bacteria we carry are in our gut. When we take an antibiotic
treatment, it can promote the evolution of antibiotic resistance in
these bacteria. It is therefore crucial to understand how microbial
evolution unfolds in the gut. In particular, the gut is not a well-mixed
environment, and the transport of bacteria and their resulting spatial
population structure likely has a strong impact on their evolution. We
aim to progress towards a better understanding of bacterial evolution in
the gut by developing models of microbial evolution on graphs, and by
taking into account gut flow and gradients, e.g. of nutrients or drugs.
The recruited postdoc will construct theoretical models of structured
populations, combining analytical calculations and numerical simulations.

Practical information:
The postdoc position is funded for one year and should start in January
2020 at the latest. The recruited postdoc will be co-advised by Claude
Loverdo and Anne-Florence Bitbol. The project will be performed in the
theory group of Laboratoire Jean Perrin (http://www.labos.upmc.fr/ljp),
a dynamical and strongly interdisciplinary scientific environment, where
all researchers work at the interface between physics and biology.
Laboratoire Jean Perrin is hosted by Sorbonne Université, on the Jussieu
campus, right at the center of Paris.

How to apply:
The candidate should have a PhD (or have it completed before the start
of the position) in a relevant field, and a strong experience in
modeling. To apply, please send a CV and a cover letter describing your
interests and previous work to claude.loverdo@sorbonne-universite.fr
and
anne-florence.bitbol@sorbonne-universite.fr

will have the flexibility to initiate and pursue projects that span the
interests of multiple faculty mentors.  We have a particularly strong
culture of theory/experiment collaboration, and individual Fellows often
have played key roles in developing these collaborations.  Successful
fellows have come both from PhDs in biological physics and from more
traditional areas of physics; some have had as many as four different
faculty co-authors during their time with us, while some have written
papers only with other postdocs and students.

We ask your help in bringing this opportunity to the attention of your
young colleagues.  Applications must  be made via
https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=12904.
 We plan to start reading applications by 15 October, and interview a
first group of candidates on 18-19 November, so we hope that interested
candidates will act soon.  Start dates as early as February 2020 are
possible, and we expect all new Fellows to join us by Fall 2020.

In addition to the Center Fellow position, candidates interested in
combining research with a modest amount of teaching should consider
applying to the new Lewis-Sigler Scholars program at Princeton, which
again is looking for both theorists and experimentalists
https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=13061

Finally, please also nominate your best theory students for postdoctoral
fellowships at the Princeton Center for the Theoretical Sciences,
https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/nominations/index.xhtml?listingId=12881

If there are candidates whom you think we should encourage more
directly, simply reply to this message with their names and contact
information, and we can do the rest.

With thanks for your help, and best wishes,

10th September 2019 : Postdoc & tenure-track faculty positions – U. of Michigan

Dear friends and colleagues,

I am writing to let you know about several new opportunities at the
University of Michigan. Would you please bring these open positions to
the attention of any qualified young scientists you know?

1) The LSA collegiate fellows program
 and
thePresident's fellows program  are
two separate initiatives, each of which seek to recruit outstanding
young researchers in the natural and social sciences and
engineering whose research, teaching, and/or service will contribute to
diversity and equal opportunity in higher education. The University of
Michigan views these postdoctoral fellowships as providing an
exceptional opportunity to recruit potential new faculty to the
University by offering the possibility of _either a postdoc alone or a
combined postdoc and tenure track faculty appointment_.   (Note, in
particular, that both of these programs are appropriate for scientists
who have completed or will soon complete a first postdoc and are [close
to] ready to move on to an independent faculty position; when merited,
we have in the past been able to offer a regular, tenure-track position
through these programs, usually combined with a brief initial period
when the hire is officially a postdoc and has reduced teaching
responsibilities.)

2) The Center for the Study of Complex Systems is searching for
tenure-track faculty in complex systems science; this search will lead
to a joint appointment between complex systems and another academic
department or school at the University of Michigan.  More details can be
found in the job ad
.

Please note the relatively _early deadlines_ for all of these searches.

Yours,
  David

26th March 2019: Ph.D. Offer – Université de Lorraine

Title:
Numerical study of the critical point of random quantum spin models in high dimensions.

Institution:
Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie Theoriques (http://lpct.univ-lorraine.fr/)
Ph.D. adviser: Christophe Chatelain,
Faculte des Sciences et Technologies, Boulevard des aiguillettes, F-54506 Vandoeuvre les Nancy, France
e-mail : christophe.chatelain@univ-lorraine.fr, Phone : +33 3.72.74.57.47

Topic :
The context of this Ph.D. is in the field of Statistical Physics, and more precisely Critical Phenomena, i.e. the study of the singularities of thermodynamical quantities in
the neighborhood of a phase transition. From the point of view of Statistical Physics, the influence of disorder on the critical properties of classical systems is usually considered as
well understood. According to the behavior of specific heat at the transition temperature, the introduction of disorder in the couplings of the Hamiltonian will modify or not the
critical behavior. First-order phase transitions are softened by disorder and can even become continuous for a strong enough disorder. In dimension d = 2, an infinitesimal
amount of disorder is sufficient to make the transition continuous. Lattice spin models (Ising, Potts models) were intensively studied in the last decades in the presence of
disorder, mostly by Monte Carlo simulations. Quantum Phase Transitions are not driven by thermal fluctuations as classical phase transitions but by quantum fluctuations. The paradigmatic model is the quantum Ising chain in a transverse field. It was shown analytically that the introduction of disorder leads to a drastic change of critical behavior. The quantum fluctuations are overwhelmed by disorder fluctuations. Interestingly, several other one-dimensional spin models (Potts, Ashkin-Teller) were observed to have the same critical behavior in presence of disorder. The case of higher dimensions (d  2) could present surprises. Up to now, only the quantum Ising model in a transverse field has been studied numerically in dimension d  2. The aim of this thesis is therefore to extend the real-space renormalization procedure applied to the Ising model to other models and to implement it numerically to study the critical behavior.
The Ph.D. candidate is expected to have a good knowledge of Statistical Physics, to master a programming language and to be highly motivated. This Ph.D. will be funded
by the University of Lorraine for a duration of 36 months, starting from October 1st 2019. The Ph.D. student will be integrated to the "Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie
Theoriques" in a research group in Statistical Physics. He will have access to computer facilities to perform his calculations and will have opportunities to attend congresses,
conferences and topical schools.

LPTMS postdoc: Postdoctoral position in theoretical physics

Missions :

Le poste est financé avec les moyens du Conseil Européen de la Recherche dans le cadre du projet LoCoMacro (Local Control of Macroscopic Properties in Isolated Many-body Quantum Systems), présenté par Maurizio FAGOTTI à la session 2018 du ERC Starting Grants. Ce projet de recherche porte sur l'étude des effets d'inhomogénéités sur les systèmes hors d'équilibre après une soi-disante trempe quantique globale. C'est-à-dire l'évolution temporelle hors-équilibre d'états avec une énergie significativement plus élévée que l'état fondamental, pour lesquelles, généralement, une description statistique devient appropriée. Une particularité de LoCoMacro est l'intérêt porté aux effets globaux d'inhomogénéités qui se trouvent seulement dans une petite partie du système. Le projet s'intéresse à la fois aux modèles exactement solubles qu'on examinera avec des méthodes analytiques, qu'aux systèmes génériques lesquelles sont plus facilement abordés avec des méthodes numériques. Le groupe de recherche sera composé de chercheurs aux capacités hétérogènes et l'échange des savoirs et découvertes sera donc un aspect clé de son activité.

Activités :

Le postdoc contribuera à l'étude numérique et analytique de l'évolution temporelle des systèmes quantiques à plusieurs corps à basse dimension en présence d'inhomogénéités.

Compétences :

Les candidats doivent posséder un doctorat en physique. D'autres critères essentiels à ce poste sont l'intérêt pour la dynamique hors équilibre et la maîtrise des méthodes numériques pour étudier l'évolution du temps dans les systèmes quantiques à plusieurs corps à basse dimension (en particulier les techniques de réseaux de tenseurs); le candidat idéal est un chercheur indépendant qui souhaite améliorer les méthodes existantes et éventuellement développer de nouvelles techniques pour attaquer efficacement les problèmes hors équilibre sans invariance translationnelle.
Une bonne maitrise de l'anglais parlé et écrit est requise.

Contexte de travail :

Le candidat retenu travaillera sous la supervision de Dr Maurizio FAGOTTI et bénéficiera de l'environnement de recherche stimulant du Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modèles Statistiques (LPTMS).
Le Laboratoire (créé en 1998) est une Unité Mixte de Recherche CNRS - Université Paris-Sud et héberge une cinquantaine de chercheurs. Les thématiques sont centrées autour de la physique statistique à la fois dans ses applications au cœur de la physique mais aussi dans ses ouvertures vers d'autres disciplines.
Etant une unité de recherche commune entre le CNRS et l'Université Paris-Sud, le laboratoire a accès à des installations informatiques telles que le «mésocentre informatique» Paris-Sud et, pour les calculs à grande échelle, aux installations nationales telles que IDRIS.

Informations complémentaires :

Le salaire suivra les règles standard du CNRS et dépendra de l'expérience. En plus du salaire, un généreux fond pour les voyages est prévu. Le candidat retenu devrait prendre ses fonctions au cours de 2019; la date précise sera fixée d'un commun accord.
Les candidatures devront obligatoirement comporter:
- un curriculum vitae et les coordonnées d'au moins deux personnes susceptibles de donner un avis motivé sur le candidat; dans le même document, fournir une liste des publications comprenant une sélection de deux ou trois publications pour lesquelles l'importance du travail est discutée et la contribution du candidat est soulignée;
- une lettre concise de motivation décrivant l'intérêt du candidat pour le projet de recherche.
Toute candidature incomplète ne sera pas examinée.

Date limite de réception des candidatures: 14/04/2019.

All applications must transit via the CNRS portal :

24th March 2019 : Postdoc – Soft Matter/Biophysics/Biological Physics – Duke University.

Hi,

Applications are requested for a postdoctoral research associate to work
in collaboration with the cellular biology group of Michel Bagnat
(https://www.cellbio.duke.edu/michel-bagnat) and the soft matter group
of Patrick Charbonneau (https://chem.duke.edu/labs/charbonneau), both at
Duke University.

The project will focus on developing basic physical models of epithelial
and other tissues that surround the notochord in zebrafish. The work,
which is part of an ongoing multi-disciplinary collaboration, combines
in vivo work in zebrafish with computational and theoretical modeling to
understand two morphogenetic events following basic physical principles:
1-the emergence of segmented domains within the epithelial tube that
surrounds the notochord; 2-the formation of a single lumen in a tube.
The postdoc is expected to actively collaborate with members of the two
research groups, and is expected to participate in relevant local,
national, and international scientific events.

Candidates should have a PhD in Soft Matter Physics, Biophysics, or
related fields, with some experience in statistical mechanics and
computer programming. The start date should (ideally) be between July
2019 and December 2019.

Applications must be made by sending a letter of presentation and a
detailed CV, and by arranging for at least two letters of reference to
be sent to: michel.bagnat@duke.edu
Thanks for your consideration.
Best.

LPTMS PhD Proposal: inhomogeneous systems out of equilibrium

Responsable: Maurizio FAGOTTI + 33 (0)1 69 15 32 64

A fundamental concept in statistical physics is that the equilibrium properties of systems with a huge number of degrees of freedom can be described by few parameters, first and foremost the temperature. The latter can be tuned to modify the physical properties, and even the forms in which matter manifests itself, so-called phases of matter (e.g. solid, liquid, etc.). This generally requires a global control of the system, but there are also situations in which a local perturbation is sufficient to induce a phase transition. For example, pure water can be supercooled below its normal freezing point, remaining liquid; it is then sufficient to put the liquid in contact with a small piece of ice to induce global freezing.

When the system is not at equilibrium, its description becomes more complicated; nevertheless, a statistical description was shown to emerge when a quantum many-body system, isolated from the rest, is left to evolve for a long time. Being isolated, the system can not relax to an equilibrium state, but, when scrutinised locally, it appears as if it were prepared at an effective temperature or in some exotic state of matter. Arguably, the best understood situation is a quantum quench of a global parameter in a translationally invariant quantum many-body system.

In this thesis we will go beyond the assumption of translational invariance, studying the effects of inhomogeneities on the nonequilibrium dynamics after quantum quenches.

Objet: [info.statphys] Postdoctoral position at Simon Fraser University (Canada)

Dear Colleague:

I am writing to advertise a postdoctoral fellowship in theoretical / computational statistical physics, funded by an NIH R01 grant for a study on DNA replication.   The initial appointment will be for one year, starting September 1, 2019, and can be extended for two more years.  Please forward this announcement to any interested parties.  

My group has pioneered quantitative statistical modeling of DNA replication in cell populations.  New technology is giving information about replication in individual cells.  How much of the stochasticity seen in populations is due to different replication “programs” of individual cells?  The present position is funded as part of a collaboration with one of the leading biology groups in the world studying replication.  

The ideal candidate would have experience with computer programming, modeling of biological systems, statistical mechanics, and a PhD in a relevant field such as physics or biophysics, or an equivalent training.  But most important is intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm for research in this area, and an excellent track record in whatever field that has been pursued.  

The position will be based primarily at Simon Fraser University (SFU), which is just outside Vancouver, British Columbia.  The city is regularly ranked amongst the most livable in the world  with a wealth of cultures and amazing outdoor activities near by.  The position includes opportunities to interact with SFU’s active Biophysics and Soft Matter group. 

To apply, please send a CV, list of publications, and contact information (preferably in the form of email addresses) for two references to John Bechhoefer (johnb@sfu.ca).

Thank you in advance!

LPTMS PhD Proposal: Models and Time Series Analysis for Human Sports Performance

Responsable: Thorsten Emig + 33 (0)1 69 15 31 80

This project is directed to students with a strong background in quantitative methods from statistical physics, and ideally some knowledge of machine learning, computational physiology and statistical analysis of large data. Interest in sports performance would be useful. Expected are both analytical and computer programming
skills.

Models for human sports performances of various complexities and underlying principles have been proposed, often combining data from world record performances and bio-energetic facts of human physiology. For running, we were the first to derive an observed logarithmic scaling between world record running speeds and times from basic principles of metabolic power supply. We showed that various female and male record performances (world, national) and also personal best performances of individual runners for distances from 800m to the marathon are excellently described by our approach, with mean errors of (often much) less than 1%.

Main goal of this thesis project is the data-driven modeling of physiological and biomechanical processes in endurance sports, in particular running. The physiological and mechanical response of humans to exercise constitutes a complex system that involves many dynamical variables. Examples are the beat-to-beat intervals between heart beats, oxygen uptake, and stride frequency to name a few. These variables show inherent fluctuations that can be correlated.

Time series analysis can be used to detect these correlations which can show fractal scaling. This has been demonstrated for patients with cardiac diseases by Goldberger (see references below). Methods include detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), multifractal DFA, EMD, multiscale entropy, and transfer entropy.

Models for complex physiological systems shall be constructed by learning from data. For example, running performance has been studied using recent advances in machine learning (see reference by Blythe and Kiraly). One aspect of this project is to apply machine learning to complex physiological data for endurance exercise and compare the so obtained results to findings from other methods.

This project potentially involves collaborations with Prof. A. Goldberger (Harvard Medical School) and Prof. E. Räsänen (TUT, Finland).

The official application can be found on the web site of Ecole Doctorale at https://www.edpif.org/fr/recrutement/prop.php

You can also contact me directly at thorsten.emig@u-psud.fr or at 01.69.15.31.80.

27th November 2018 : Postdoc – data-driven modeling – ENS Paris

Dear colleague,

We are looking for a post-doc candidate at the crossroad of statistical
physics, machine learning, and computational biology, interested in the
theoretical and applied aspect of data-driven modeling.

Thanks to recent progress in machine learning, machine learning can be
used to establish models of complex systems, which remain out of reach
with standard first-principle methods. The goal of the post doctoral
project will be two-fold:

(1) develop unsupervised machine learning tools and apply statistical
physics methods and concepts to better understand how these methods
operate and learn from data. Different unsupervised architectures will be
studied and compared, including Boltzmann Machines, Restricted Boltzmann
Machines, and (Variational) Autoencoders.

(2) apply these methods to model proteins from sequence data, with special
emphasis on the prediction of mutational effects and mutational paths in
the trypsin enzyme, in connection with high-throughput experiments by C.
Nizak and O. Rivoire at College de France.

The post-doc will be located in the Department of Physics at the Ecole
Normale Superieure in Paris, under the supervision of S. Cocco and R.
Monasson. The duration of the position is of two years. Post-doc
candidates are expected to have solid knowledge in statistical physics,
inference methods and data analysis, and both analytical and computer
programming skills. Moreover he/she should have a deep interest and
possibly a previous experience in computational biology and/or
bioinformatics.

Applications should be sent by email to cocco@lps.ens.fr or
monasson@lpt.ens.fr by January 15, 2018.

Please help us distribute this announcement.

young scientist that will develop an interdisciplinary activity on the
modeling of biological networks. More details are given below and in the
attached document.
Please forward this opportunity to the attention of any suitable candidates.

Postdoctoral position in mathematical modeling of biological networks

*Title*Dynamic modeling of iron-linked redox perturbations in Acute
Myeloid Leukemia

*Context*Acute Myeloid Leukemia are a class of deadly hematopoietic
diseases with an astonishing large variety of driver mutations.
Diagnosis usually occurs during a blast crisis whereby leukemic clones
escape the bone marrow and invade peripheral blood. The general
objective of the project, funded by the french /Plan Cancer/ (/Cancer
Systems Biology/ program), is to sort out the main molecular differences
between normal and leukemic cells so as to identify new and innovative
therapeutic targets.

*Project*The successful candidate will be in charge of developing models
of energy-related networks involved in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
Several modules are envisioned, such as iron homeostasis, control of
cell cycle, hypoxia responsive network.

New computational methods to perform /set-based simulations/ will be
developed in collaboration with one of the partners of the project
(Verimag lab). We use these techniques to cope with the large
uncertainties in model parameters. Recent methods for model reduction
will be assessed, and possibly new ones developped. He/she will also
interact with biologists to integrate experimental data generated in the
frame of the project, and extract biological knowledge from the models.

*Profile * Good knowledge in at least some of the following topics:
numerical methods, optimization, modeling methods (sensitivity analysis,
parameter inference), bayesian statistics.

Good programming skills (in e.g. python, julia). Basic knowledge of
molecular biology is desirable. A previous interdisciplinary experience
in connection with biology would be a plus.

*Scientific environment*The successful candidate will be part of an
interdisciplinary consortium called ‘Dynamical Modeling of LAMs’
involving four labs and gathering biologists, physicians, modellers,
computer scientists, and physicists.

She/He will also benefit from the excellent scientific environment of
the TIMC-IMAG laboratory (CNRS & UGA) which gathers scientists and

LPTMS PhD Proposal: Quantum entanglement in fermionic systems via random matrix theory

Responsables:

Satya MAJUMDAR + 33 (0)1 69 15 64 65

Grégory SCHEHR + 33 (0)1 69 15 76 41

During the last few years, it has been shown that non-interacting fermions in presence of a trap can be studied using the powerful techniques of random matrix theory, and more generally of determinantal point processes. This toolbox allowed to study analytically the interplay between quantum and thermal fluctuations in challenging physical situations where standard approaches of many-body physics, like the Local Density Approximation, fail.

Currently, there is an intense activity, both experimental and theoretical, concerning the relation between quantum entanglement and the thermodynamic entropy in many-body quantum systems. Many results remain currently conjectural. In this project, we would like to explore these questions, for instance the quantum entanglement at finite temperature, in a class of solvable models of trapped fermions, that are known to be related to RMT models at zero temperature.

LPTMS PhD Proposal: Extreme Value Statistics in Stochastic Processes

Responsables:

Satya MAJUMDAR + 33 (0)1 69 15 64 65

Grégory SCHEHR + 33 (0)1 69 15 76 41

The extreme value statistics in stochastic processes is a subject of growing interest with applications from climate science to finance. Given a stochastic time-series over a given time interval [0,t], the typical questions are: what is the statistics of the maximum (or minimum) value of the process in this time window, at what time the maximum (or the minimum) is achieved, what is the time gap between the maximum and minimum etc.? Even for simple stochastic processes such as a one dimensional Brownian motion, these questions are often nontrivial. In the thesis, these questions would be addressed for a Brownian motion to start with, and progressively other types of stochastic processes would be studied.

LPTMS PhD Proposal: Mean field games

Responsable: Denis ULLMO + 33 (0)1 69 15 74 76

Mean field games present a new area of research at the boundary between applied mathematics,‭ ‬social sciences,‭ ‬engineering sciences and physics.‭ ‬It has been initiated a decade ago by Pierre-Louis Lions‭ (‬recipient of the‭ ‬94‭ ‬Fields medal‭) ‬and Jean-Michel Lasry as a new and promising tool to study many problem of social sciences,‭ ‬and with an explicit mention of the influence of concepts coming from physics‭ (‬the notion of‭ “‬mean field approximation‭”)‬.‭ ‬This field has since then grown significantly,‭ ‬and after a period where mainly stylized models where introduced,‭ ‬we witness now the appearance of‭ (‬necessarily more involved‭) ‬mean field game models closer to practical applications in finance,‭ ‬vaccination policies,‭ ‬or energy management through smart electronics.

Up to now,‭ ‬the development of Mean Field Games has mainly originated from the mathematics and economic communities.‭ ‬Mean Field Games theory is,‭ ‬however,‭ ‬by essence a multi-disciplinary field for which the input of physicists is much needed.‭ ‬Indeed,‭ ‬as important as they are,‭ ‬the studies of internal consistency and the numerical schemes developed by mathematicians cannot replace the deeper
understanding of the behavior of these models,‭ ‬obtained in particular through powerful approximation schemes,‭ ‬that physicists‭ (‬and essentially only them‭) ‬know how to provide.

For physicists a good‭ “‬entry point‭” ‬to the problematic of Mean Field Games is through the formal,‭ ‬but deep,‭ ‬connection between Mean Field Games and the nonlinear Schroedinger‭ (‬or Gross-Pitaevskii‭) ‬equation.‭ ‬This connection makes it possible to import to the field of Mean Field Games a variety of tools‭ (‬ranging from exact methods and approximation schemes to intuitive qualitative descriptions‭) ‬which have been developed along the year by physicists when studying interacting bosons or gravity waves in inviscid fluids.

The general subject of the proposed thesis is the study of Mean Field Games from a physicist point of view,‭ ‬that is with an objective to provide a true understanding‭ (‬through the identification of the relevant parameters and scale and the development of approximation schemes in the regimes of interest‭) ‬of the solutions of Mean Field Games equations.‭ ‬More specifically,‭ ‬two possible directions the proposed PhD ‬could take would be:

1.‭ ‬The study of phase transition in Mean Filed games.

2.‭ ‬To use the knowledge obtained‭ ‬on simple models to study more complicated Mean Field Games,‭ ‬and in particular address more realistic‭ (‬less stylized‭) ‬Mean Field Games.

These studies should imply a mix between analytical and numerical works,‭ ‬somewhat more shifted on the analytical side.

LPTMS PhD Proposal: Renormalization group analysis of frustrated self-assembly

Responsable: Martin LENZ + 33 (0)1 69 15 32 62

Self-organization is key to the function of living cells - but sometimes goes wrong! In Alzheimer's and many other diseases, normally soluble proteins thus clump up into pathological fiber-like aggregates. While biologists typically explain this on the grounds of detailed molecular interactions, we have started proving that such fibers are actually expected from very general physical principles. We thus show that geometrical frustration builds up when mismatched objects self-assemble, and leads to non-trivial aggregate morphologies, including fibers.

While our current numerical simulations let us monitor the aggregate formed by copies of a given irregular particle, we do not yet understand its dimensionality from first principles. Here we will tackle this problem using ideas inspired by the renormalization group. We will thus represent the shape of the particle as an orientation-dependent coupling matrix between two neighbors. By repeatedly applying a decimation procedure a la Kadanoff to the system, we will drastically reduce the enormous
space of all possible coupling matrices to a few fixed points corresponding to finite clusters, fibers, sheets and crystals. An internship will start with a transfer matrix calculation applying this procedure to a 1D system. A PhD will involve some non-trivial 3D discrete geometry and will likely require delving into
some linear algebra to understand the properties of our matrix universality classes.

Beyond protein aggregation, this project opens investigations into a new class of ''disordered'' systems where the disorder is carried by each identical particle instead of sprinkled throughout the system, and will help define the much-debated notion of frustration in dilute systems. This collaboration with Pierre Ronceray (Princeton U.) will ideally lead to collaborations with the experimental groups of Seth Fraden (Brandeis U.) and Friedrich Simmel (T.U. Munich).

LPTMS Internship Proposal: Searching for topological physics in dissipative Ytterbium gases

Dissipation is ubiquitous in experiments on quantum matter and it typically reduces the timescales
over which pristine quantum phenomena can be investigated or lowers the quality of the
measurements. It’s an “enemy” that has to be fought harshly and roughly. In this internship we
will change the paradigm and consider dissipation as a resource. Dissipation can induce genuine
and interesting quantum effects (see for instance Ref. 1) and we are interesting in proposing
realistic experiments that can reveal them.

We will focus on the experiments on ultracold ytterbium gases that are currently realized in
several laboratories around the world, among which those at Collège de France in Paris (see
Ref. 2). The goal of this internship is to characterize theoretically the interplay between (i) the
dissipative mechanisms that distinguish these atoms and (ii) the unavoidable presence of atomatom
interactions (Ref. 3 presents some first data obtained in Hamburg, Germany). We will
inspect whether the dissipation-induced topological properties presented in the model of
reference 4, where interactions are neglected, can be observed in Ytterbium gases, where
interactions cannot be neglected. The main investigation tool will be advanced numerical
algorithms based on matrix-product states, that allow for the study of dissipative many-body
systems (see Ref. 5 for an article where such methods have been used to characterize dissipative
topological models).

LPTMS PhD Proposal: Exclusion statistics and lattice random walks

Responsable: OUVRY Stéphane + 33 (0)1 69 15 36 30

Thesis proposal :Recently [1] a formula for the algebraic area enumeration of closed random walks on a square lattice has been obtained from the Kreft coefficients which encode the Schrodinger equation of the quantum Hofstadter model.

The Hofstadter model (a charged particle hopping on a square lattice coupled to a perpendicular magnetic field) has a spectrum which is a rare example of a quantum fractal. It happens to be related to closed random walks on a square lattice via a mapping between the n-th moment of the Hofstadter Hamiltonian and the generating function for the enumeration of close lattice walks making n steps and enclosing a given algebraic area. More recently [2] the algebraic area enumeration was generalized to a wider class of random walks and lattices by recognizing the underlying role of exclusion statistics in the enumeration. Several key observations both in [1] and [2] happen to be still incompletely understood and not yet seated on solid mathematical grounds. The enumeration itself has a complexity which increases exponentially with n making it difficult to be used for walks with a large number of steps. The thesis will focus on a better understanding and improving of [1] and [2], in particular simplifying the formula to make it more tractable for large n. Also the investigation of various lattices and random walks will be pushed forward.

LPTMS Internship Proposal: Pairing and topological phases in cold atoms with long-range interaction

Correlated quantum systems in low dimensions show fascinating properties that distinguish them from their three dimensional counterparts as a consequence of the enhancement of quantum fluctuations. Interacting fermions and bosons in one-dimension (1D) can exhibit many exotic phases of matter. Although short-range interacting particles in 1D are rather well understood, much less is known for long-range interacting systems.Seminal efforts are underway in the control of artificial quantum systems to simulate arbitrary model Hamiltonians which are now barely accessible to classical computation methods. Ultra-cold dipolar or Rydberg atoms can realize Bose or Fermi gases with long-range interactions.

Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Physics

The Department of Physics and Biophysics at the University of San Diego
invites applications for a tenure-track Clare Boothe Luce assistant
professorship to start in Fall 2019. This prestigious position, a result
of an award from the Henry Luce Foundation, includes exceptional career
development support along with a competitive salary and a generous
start-up package. The award terms limit the position to female
candidates who have a doctorate in physics and are US citizens or
permanent residents. The successful candidate should demonstrate the
potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching, and the capacity to
establish a vigorous research program tailored to undergraduates. The
candidate will also have the opportunity to play a key role in the
burgeoning Physics-Engineering program; and help develop a new
Physics-Community Partnership Program (P-CoPP) that will partner
undergraduates with female mentors from industry and R1 institutions.
These initiatives are strategically designed to promote diversity and
inclusion in STEM, and increase retention and success of
underrepresented students in STEM graduate programs and careers. Given
these initiatives, preference will be given to research expertise in
appliedexperimental physics, though all research areas are welcome.

The Physics and Biophysics Department, within the College of Arts and
Sciences of the University of San Diego, is deeply committed to
excellence in undergraduate physics education in a liberal arts
environment - including small class sizes, personalized mentoring, and
independent research opportunities. Our faculty are equally devoted to
