Offer Description

A PhD Research Fellowship is available at the Department of Mathematics, Mechanics Division at the University of Oslo (UiO). The position is parts of large interdisciplinary projects which focuses on the development of mathematical models and numerical simulations of sequestration of material on intracellular membranes. Numerical simulations will be developed of the viscous interfacial fluid flow at cellular membranes. More specifically, it will address the basic mechanochemical processes that regulate one of the most fundamental communication pathways in cell biology - the “self-eating” process of autophagy. Autophagy protects us from infections, cancer and neurodegerative diseases and has been shown to promote longevity in model organisms. The PhD work will involve theoretical and computational modelling, in collaboration with experimentalists. It is planned that the numerical simulations will help advance our understanding of these membrane wetting dynamics. The PhD research fellowship will be part of the group of Prof. Andreas Carlson (https://acarlson-uio.github.io ), where the work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental cell biologists at Oslo University Hospital in the group of Prof. Harald Stenmark. The project will also international collaborations and is a unique opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary environment.
