Offer Description

The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting a parametric theoretical study of flows generated by the active contraction of artificial vessels within a network. The primary objective will be to identify the shapes and velocities of the contraction waves, as well as the resulting flow rates

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing new theoretical tools. The theoretical modeling will involve solving Stokes flows coupled with active wall deformation.

The IRPHE Laboratory specializes in fluid mechanics and benefits from regular recruitment of permanent researchers via the CNRS, Aix-Marseille University, and Centrale Marseille. This position falls within a field related to the Protection of Scientific and Technical Potential (PPST). Consequently, in accordance with regulations, your appointment must be authorized by the competent authority of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR)

The ideal candidate will demonstrate exemplary scientific rigor, strong theoretical skills, a keen interest in developing Python-based analyses, and a passion for advancing scientific knowledge.
