ERC-funded postdoc position in Brussels for 2025/26
Université Libre de Bruxelles (ERC project PASTIS)

Applications are open for a postdoctoral position in PDE analysis and mathematical physics at Université Libre de Bruxelles, funded by my ERC grant "PASTIS: Scaling limits of particle systems and microstructural disorder".

Main research topics concern the role of microstructural disorder in the dynamics of many-particle systems, beyond homogenization and mean-field limits. In this setting, we aim to derive effective equations and phenomenological laws of continuum physics rigorously from atomistic models. Examples of problems of interest include: rheology of particle suspensions in fluids, collisional relaxation of long-range interacting particle systems, glassy behavior of interacting particle systems in random media, etc.

Practical information:
- The postdoc position is full-time for 2 years, with a salary starting at approx. 3050eur/month after all taxes (including health insurance).
- Substantial financial support to attend conferences, workshops, and to invite collaborators will be granted (approx. 6000eur/year).
- No teaching obligation.
- The starting date is flexible and can be anytime between September 2025 and February 2026.
- The math department is located in the pleasant and green setting of the "La Plaine" campus in the heart of Brussels. The city is dynamic, lively, and multicultural, as the capital of the European Union, and is less than 2hours from Paris, London, and Amsterdam.

Application and deadline:
Applications should be sent to me by e-mail and include a cover letter, a CV with list of publications, and a description of research interests. Support letters can be sent at the same address. Applications are welcome until the position is filled.
