physics based models : to rationalize the results.
The institute Chemistry Biology Innovation (CBI) is a new UMR gathering 6 different teams working in experimental chemistry and biology with a common vocation : scientific creation and technological innovation at the frontiers of chemistry and biology.
The ideal candidate for this project would be a physicist by training with interest in statistical physics and an interest for experimental work. Previous experience in biochemistry and wet lab work would be a plus but it is not required. The experimental setup is currently working at the LBC and the relevant experimental protocols have been validated. Based on previous experience with research interns an undergraduate student can master the relevant experimental techniques in less than 6 months.
The project requires combining the experimental activity with data analysis and modeling. This is the part of the project that will require the most development. As for most intense experimental projects the suitable candidate will ideally have good time managing, flexibility and communication skills. These are not only key aspects of experimental activity but are transferable skills to be used in sectors beyond academia. As such they will also be addressed in the complementary training of the candidate.
