NCN funded positions
Postdoc position (deadline 3 Nov 2026, starting early 2027)
We are looking for postdoc to carry out research within scope of NCN project on understanding the biophysical limiting factors of patterning precision in developing tissues, under SONATA BIS funding scheme.
The project requirements include:
- PhD in biophysics, physics, mathematics, computer science or similar;
- excellent academic track record;
- interest in the interdisciplinary aspect of the project;
- experience with numerical solvers (C++, Python, Mathematica);
- proficiency in written and spoken English.
The project goal is to understand to what extent growth, cellular dynamics, biomechanical feedbacks and global mechanical constraints limit patterning precision in the growing tissue. The successful candidate is expected to actively take part in the project by proposing and analyzing models in the framework of theoretical and computational biophysics. The proposed models will be informed with high resolution experimental data provided by external collaborators.
The position is full-time for 24 months with possible extension.
Application should consist of documents listed in the job offer available at Jagiellonian University webpage: job description.
The documents should be submitted to marcin.zagorski@uj.edu.pl, e-mail title: postdoc application, SONATA BIS. Inquiries before the application deadline are highly encouraged.
Mentoring program
Apart from research activity we offer mentoring program. The goal of the mentoring would be to develop scientific potential of the mentee allowing the mentee to become a successful and independent researcher. We advice and give feedback on: applying for jobs and independent funding, networking in science, writing publications, presentation skills, teaching and other science-related activities.
Graduate students, PhD students, and postdocs interested in the mentoring program are encouraged to contact me at marcin.zagorski@uj.edu.pl.
Electro-Cell project in Garage of Complexity
The project goal is to construct proxies of biological regulatory mechanisms by assembling electronic circuits to mimic different developmental functions. The project will result in physical implementation of cellular regulatory logic that could help us to investigate the principles driving the emergence of gene expression patterns in developing systems.
We are looking for ambitious students with interest in electric circuit assembly, programming skills and curiosity in biological aspect of the project. Visit https://www.facebook.com/garageofcomplexity/or contact me directly at marcin.zagorski@uj.edu.pl.
