Subject: PostDoc Position in Mathematical Modeling of Bacterial Growth

Date: May 24, 2025 at 5:46:59 AM EDT

 

I attach an announcement for a 2½ year postdoc position in Mathematical Modeling of Bacterial Growth at Roskilde University, Demark. The Postdoc starts September 1^st, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.

 

I hope you will aid in distributing the announcement in your network, especially among potential candidates.

 

The postdoc will become part of a research group that values collaboration and mutual support, fostering both individual and collective well-being. The position is in the research group of Professor Johnny T. Ottesen, in close collaboration with Associate Professor Morten Andersen (mathematics) and Associate Professor Fatima AlZahra’a Alatraktchi (biology) and her microbiology team. The project focuses on quorum sensing, a communication mechanism used by bacteria to coordinate synchronized, cooperative behavior at the population level. Specifically, the aim is to investigate the mechanisms that control the progression of bacterial communities and to understand how and why these communities may evolve in different directions. Although the project is mathematically focused, it is highly interdisciplinary and involves close collaboration with biologists.
