The application of concepts of yield stress rheology to active soft materials such as biological tissues may also be considered. Depending on the interests of the applicant, the project could be mainly computational, or combine numerics with analytical work.<br \/>\nApplicants should have or expect to attain a good first or upper second class integrated masters or a good first class bachelor&#8217;s degree in physics, mathematics, or a related subject.<br \/>\nFurther details about Prof. Fielding&#8217;s research group can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dur.ac.uk\/suzanne.fielding\">www.dur.ac.uk\/suzanne.fielding<\/a>; and about the department at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dur.ac.uk\/physics\">www.dur.ac.uk\/physics<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe closing date for applications is 15th March 2019. Please submit applications electronically via the Durham University, Department of Physics website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dur.ac.uk\/study\/pg\/apply\/\">www.dur.ac.uk\/study\/pg\/apply\/<\/a><br \/>\nThe start date is 1st October 2019.<br \/>\nInformal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Prof. Suzanne Fielding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applications are invited for a 3.5 year fully funded PhD studentship in theoretical soft condensed matter physics to work with Prof. Suzanne Fielding in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.12.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["fr","en"],"languages":{"fr":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physics-complex-systems.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
