pour la GS Physique

---------------------------

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Nous sommes très heureux de vous rappeler la tenue mercredi 12 mai de l'Alliance Day de l'Université Européenne EUGLOH

Cet événement festif a pour objectif de réunir les acteurs des 5 universités, étudiants, doctorants, chercheurs, enseignants-chercheurs, et personnels administratifs, ainsi qu'un ensemble d'acteurs d'un plus grand périmètre (industriels, région, associations, etc.). L'enjeu est très important puisqu'il s'agit, avec les contraintes actuelles, d'explorer le campus européen de l'alliance autour d'événements variés co-organisés par les cinq universités engagées et de susciter de l'enthousiasme pour un engagement européen de tous, qui pourra, le cas échéant, être alimenté ensuite par des outils de mobilité Erasmus+.

Il est très important de noter et de faire connaitre le fait qu'il n'est absolument pas nécessaire de mobiliser la journée complète. Chacun-e, étudiant-e, enseignant-e, tous personnels, nous sommes invités à nous connecter à l'événement en ligne pour y partager une partie du programme, à l'horaire qui nous convient.

19th April 2021 : Oxford Postdoc in Theoretical Biological Physics — deadline Wed 5 May, midday UK time

Dear colleagues,

We have a new 3-year PDRA position open for a project using statistical
mechanics and algorithmic information theory to investigate evolutionary
patterns in biological development.

The deadline is midday (UK time) Wed 5 May, and the application link
is here
.

I would appreciate it if you can  pass this on to anyone you think might
be suitable for this post.

Further details on the project can be found  at:
http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/ArdLouis/evolution.shtml
  or
below:

many thanks,

Ard Louis

<<>> LONGER DESCRIPTION BELOW <<>>

*PDRA on Arrival of the fittest in development: *

"Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution." wrote
the great naturalist Theodosius Dobzhansky
. This is true, but
to really understand evolution, a stochastic optimization process in an
extremely high dimensional space[1], will require techniques from
statistical physics.

Darwinian evolution proceeds by two steps. First, random mutations
generate new heritable phenotypic variation. Second, the process of
natural selection ensures that phenotypes with higher fitness are more
likely to dominate in a population over time. Research in evolutionary
theory has mainly focussed on the second step, natural selection. Much
less is known about the first step, the arrival of variation. For a
popular introduction to this topic, see the charming book: Arrival of
the Fittest
 by Andreas
Wagner.

Much of our work in this area uses theoretical tools of statistical
mechanics and algorithmic information theory, together with computer
simulations, to study genotype-phenotype maps, which give access to the
structured role of variation in evolution.   As an example, see this
paper on phenotypic bias [2], where we quantitatively predict the
frequencies with which RNA structures appear in nature, without taking
natural selection into account. Instead, a very strong bias in the
arrival of variation dominates over selective pressures, a non-ergodic
effect we call the arrival of the frequent [3].

We have recently shown that such strong bias in the arrival of variation
also explains structural patterns in protein quaternary structures and
gene regulatory networks [4].  The big open question for this postdoc is
whether such patterns can be observed beyond these molecular phenotypes,
at the larger scales of the evolution of development.   Arguments based
on the coding theory from algorithmic information theory [5] suggest
that strong bias may hold also for some aspects of development, but that
first needs to be established (or falsified) explicitly.

In this project, you will use a wide range of techniques to explore the
mapping from genotypes to phenotypes in models of development, and to
study the adaptive evolutionary dynamics on these landscapes.   There
are close analogies to the question of why overparameterized deep neural
networks generalize so well [6], and part of the project may include an
exploration of these commonalities.

This is a challenging interdisciplinary project.   Strong quantitative
skills and a proven track record of creative and successful independent
research are the most important qualities we are looking for. 
Experience with biological physics is a plus, but not a requirement.

Finally, for an overview of our work in this area see this recent talk:

Chèr(e)s toutes et tous,

Nous vous souhaitons une excellente année 2021, généreuse de succès dans la réalisation de vos projets personnels et professionnels et préservée des ennuis de santé.

L’année 2020 a été marquée par la création de l'Université Paris-Saclay dans le contexte d'une crise sanitaire inédite, qui a demandé à chacun d'entre nous des efforts importants, parfois des sacrifices, pour nous adapter et aider nos proches à s'adapter à un environnement fortement changé.

Cette année 2020 a aussi vu la mise en place de la Graduate School Physique, nouvel instrument de l’Université Paris-Saclay de coordination et de structuration en recherche et formation. Espace inédit de réflexion et de concertation entre acteurs de la discipline pour la définition et la mise en œuvre de projets communs, la GS Physique a pour mission de participer à la définition d’une stratégie ambitieuse en recherche et en formation, de promouvoir le contexte exceptionnel de notre université pour attirer de bons étudiants et des talents scientifiques, d'offrir aux étudiants une formation de qualité et assurer leur avenir, et de porter notre voix dans les instances universitaires.

La GS Physique bénéficiera de l'investissement au quotidien de chacun d'entre vous, dans les laboratoires et dans les services d'enseignement. La GS Physique mettra en avant la reconnaissance internationale dont bénéficie déjà la recherche et l'enseignement en physique menés à l'Université Paris-Saclay. Elle devra enfin recevoir de l'Université les ressources capables de soutenir ses missions et de porter ses ambitions.

L’année 2021 marquera une nouvelle étape pour la Graduate School avec l’installation de son conseil et de ses comités d'axes, instances collégiales pour lesquelles vous serez conviés à élire vos représentants lors du scrutin du 25 au 29 janvier.
Ce sera un moment démocratique important. Plus les instances de la Graduate School seront représentatives de l'ensemble de notre communauté, plus la Graduate School sera légitime dans ses décisions et ses prises de position, et mieux sa parole sera entendue au sein de l'Université Paris-Saclay. Alors, votez et faites voter autour de vous !

Nous faisons enfin le vœu que 2021 permette de retrouver sérénité et convivialité dans nos laboratoires et nos formations, et de poursuivre la construction de la Graduate School Physique dans un climat d’échanges et de rencontres toujours plus fructueux.

20th November 2020 : Postdoctoral Research Associate at Durham: Soft Matter and Biological Physics

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Durham: Soft Matter and Biological
Physics (two posts)

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions in theoretical
and computational soft condensed matter and biological physics, to work
with Prof. Suzanne Fielding in the Department of Physics at Durham
University on a project funded by the ERC Advanced Grant ‘RheoYield’.

The positions are to commence in January 2021 or as soon as possible
thereafter. Because of the current situation regarding Covid-19, this
date is flexible and open for discussion. Each position is funded for 2
years in the first instance with the possibility of extending to 3 years.

The project’s overall aims will be to understand the deformation and
flow behaviour of so-called yield stress materials, which keep their
shape like solids at low loads, yet flow like a liquid at larger loads.
One possible focus could be on the statistical physics of the process
whereby a material in an initially solid-like state firsts yields and
starts to flow. Besides the immediate applications of the work to soft
matter physics, and potentially also to the fracture mechanics of hard
materials, yielding also governs geological processes such as
landslides, avalanches and lava flows. It also determines the reshaping
of active biological tissue under the internal stresses caused by
processes such as cell division, including during embryo development or
tumour growth. Depending on the interests of the candidate, the project
could develop a more specific focus on any of these particular areas.

The work will draw on concepts of statistical physics, rheology, fluid
dynamics, and related fields. Depending on the interests of the
applicant, the work could be mainly computational or could combine
numerics with analytical work. An interest in collaborating with our
experimental soft matter programme would also be welcomed.

Further details about Prof. Fielding's research group can be found at
http://community.dur.ac.uk/suzanne.fielding/, about the department at
https://www.dur.ac.uk/physics/, and about the Durham Centre for Soft
Matter at https://www.dur.ac.uk/soft.matter/

Details of how to apply can be found here:

LPTMS Internship and PhD Proposal: Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of integrable open spin chains

Contact: Veronique Terras (veronique.terras@universite-paris-saclay.fr)

Video: Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of integrable open spin chains

Quantum spin chains constitute a rare example of quantum many body interacting systems where several important physical quantities can be exactly computed. This property (quantum integrability) together with numerous theoretical and experimental applications makes these systems a perfect testing ground for non-perturbative approaches in quantum field theory. One of the most intriguing (experimentally observable) features of quantum integrable systems including spin chains is their out-of-equilibrium behaviour. We propose to study, using integrability techniques, the out-of-equilibrium properties of open spin chains where a rapid change of a boundary magnetic field can produce a macroscopic change of the system. The goal of the internship is to learn the main methods of quantum integrability (algebraic Bethe Ansatz, separation of variables) and how these methods can be applied for the computation of scalar products and form factors in open spin chains. This first step will be necessary for the further study of the relaxation dynamics after a sudden change (quench) of a boundary magnetic field. This internship will ideally be followed by a PhD, in co-direction between V. TERRAS (LPTMS, Université Paris-Saclay) and N. KITANINE (professor, Université de Bourgogne). The location of the internship and PhD will be in LPTMS.

LPTMS / PMMH ESPCI Internship and PhD Proposal: Stress reversal by a strong nonlinearity: an elastic sheet toy model

Living cells move thanks to nanometer-size molecular motors whose forces are transmitted up to the scale of the cell by a fiber network known as the cytoskeleton. On much larger length scales, individual cells generate forces that are similarly transmitted to the tissue level through the fibrous extracellular matrix. While the biology of these processes is rather well characterized, the simple problem of force transmission through these highly nonlinear elastic media is far from trivial, and leads to a conversion of local extensile forces to contractile stresses, with crucial biological implications.
To better understand this surprising physical behavior, we will set up a model force transmission experiment where the role of the nonlinear elastic medium will be played by a thin plastic sheet floating on water. By locally exerting extensile forces at the center of the sheet by inflating a balloon, we will directly observe how the forces are rectified through the wrinkling of the sheet. The goal is to help explain why the cytoskeleton is always contractile despite containing a significant number of extensile motors, and to inspire the design of counter-intuitive materials that contract when they should extend.

Expected skills: The student will have a taste for experimental physics. He/She will set up and run a model experiment, and participate in the theoretical analysis of the measurements.

LPTMS Internship and PhD Proposal: Frustrated self-assembly with multiple particle types

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 we have shown that collections of identical particles form aggregates of various dimensionalities, realistic biological examples often involve multiple proteins. We will thus investigate how collections of several types of different particles typically interact and interfere. Our study will first consist in developing multi-geometries variants of the lattice-based numerical model presented in the illustration. We will then ask whether species with different geometries tend to phase separate, or conversely whether the mutiplicity of interactions they offer eases geometrical frustration and favors co-assembly. We will also wonder how this combinatorics affects the dimensionality of the aggregates, and whether we can identify generic features of the particles that distinguish between the two scenarios. We will then conduct off-lattice simulations to assess the robustness of these scenarios. Finally, we will attempt to construct a mean-field theory describing the co-assembly of a large variety of particles (> 10 or so) thus revealing the interplay between frustration and combinatorial freedom in self-assembly.
Beyond protein aggregation, this project opens investigations into a new class of “disordered” systems where the disorder is carried by each identical particle, as opposed to sprinkled throughout the system. This will help define the much-debated notion of frustration in dilute systems. This project will be conducted in collaboration with Pierre Ronceray (Turing Center for Living Systems, Marseille), who will co-direct a possible PhD project.

Expected skills:
A taste for statistical mechanics and numerical simulations connected to analytical aspects.

LPTMS Internship and PhD Proposal: Self-assembly in space and time

Video: Self-assembly in space and time - Martin Lenz - LPTMS

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 (as recognized in 2016). 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. Suchmechanisms 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 shapesfor self-assembly of printed particles produced at PMMH in collaboration with Julien Heuvingh and Olivia du Roure.

Expected skills:  A taste for statistical mechanics, numerical simulations and working with experimentalists.

18th September 2020 : Postdoctoral position at the Laboratory of Statistical Biophysics at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland)

17th September 2020 : Post-doc position to study tumor invasion with spheroids embedded in extracellular matrix at Syracuse/Cornell Universities

Dear colleagues,
  Please highlight the advertisement below to any of your
students/postdocs who might be interested in a postdoc position which
starts with biophysics/soft matter theory and also gives some
opportunities to learn to do biophysics experiments. I'm happy to answer
any questions about the position. We're really excited about the project.

Thanks,
Lisa

===

How does the interplay between the mechanics of the extracellular matrix
(ECM) and the rigidity/fluidity of an embedded tumor spheroid
potentially prime the spheroid for invasion? The groups of Jen Schwarz
(Syracuse), Lisa Manning (Syracuse), and Mingming Wu (Cornell) are
seeking post-doctoral candidates interested in answering this question,
and related ones, using both modeling /and /experimental approaches. The
modeling will be conducted at Syracuse University in the groups of Jen
Schwarz and Lisa Manning to be followed by experimental tests of the
modeling predictions in the group of Mingming Wu at Cornell
University.  The candidate’s primary background should be theoretical
but with an itch to set foot in an experimental setting and work with a
leading experimentalist in tumor invasion, and her experienced lab
members, for some finite fraction of the duration of the position. The
initial appointment is for one year beginning in Fall 2020, with the
possibility of renewal for up to three years after which time the
successful candidate will be uniquely poised to tackle additional
problems in living matter where close feedback between modeling and
experiments is needed to help constrain the modeling. The salary is
negotiable based upon experience and research abilities.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field and have
demonstrated experience in theoretical/computational soft matter or
biophysics. To apply, please send an email to jmschw02@syr.edu
 containing (1) a cover email that includes
your philosophy on the feedback between modeling and experiments, (2) a
curriculum vitae, (3) a brief description of research interests, and (4)
the email addresses of three references.

Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the
position is filled.

Further information about the research pursued by the three PIs is
available here:
