About University of Göttingen
The University of Göttingen is an internationally renowned research university. As a key member of the Göttingen Campus, the University cooperates closely with the other research institutions of Göttingen. Around 4,000 international students from 144 countries, 510 exchange partnership programmes with 90 countries, membership in a multitude of European and international higher education networks, a wide range of funding opportunities for internationally mobile students and researchers, and more than fifty English language Masters and PhD programmes – these are just a few features of UGOE's strong international orientation.
CAFE-BIO doctoral researchers will be enrolled in the GAUSS Physics programme, which provides access to taught courses, teaching experience and networking, amongst others. Researchers have access to a broad scientific seminar programme, including the Statistical Physics, CYTAC (Cytoskeleton as active matter), and Living Matter Physics series, as well as dedicated computational high-performance computing resources (GoeGrid and GWDG clusters).
Hosted PhD Projects
Research Project: Bayesian inference of active Brownian motion
For the study of motile cells and other self-propelled particles it is often key to extract quantitative features from trajectories of these particles, both to quantify experimental trajectories and to parametrise theoretical models.
Research Project: Dense active matter and the cage escape dynamics of active particles
Passive particles form amorphous solids or glasses at high densities. The same is true of active particles that model living matter such as confluent tissues.
