The University of Oslo is Norway’s oldest and highest rated institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.
The Department of Mathematics is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The Department is engaged in research covering a wide spectrum of subjects within mathematics, mechanics and statistics.
PhD Fellowship in bio-inspired fluid mechanics
A 3-year doctoral research fellowship is available at the Department of Mathematics, Mechanics Division at the University of Oslo. The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway and focuses on the development of mathematical models and numerical simulations of cell membrane dynamics by adopting a multiphase flow formalism. More specifically, it will address the basic mechanochemical processes that regulate one of the most fundamental communication pathways in cell biology - the encapsulation and internalization of liquid and transmembrane cargo at intracellular membranes. The project work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental cell biologists at Oslo University Hospital.
The University of Oslo is a leading European university and the oldest university in Norway with a long tradition in basic sciences. The campus is located in close vicinity to Oslo’s city center. The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences include Mathematics, Physics, Bioscience, Geoscience, Informatics, Chemistry and Pharmacy, providing a broad platform for multidisciplinary research.
