2. Knowledge of solid mechanics, partial differential equations, asymptotic methods, numerical methods, and/or homogenisation are strongly desired.
3. Capacity and autonomy to propose novel and original ideas in an exploratory, interdisciplinary project.
4. Motivation to work in a biology-dominated environment and enthusiasm to collaborate with experimentalists.
5. Oral and written professional English proficiency
6. Autonomy and efficiency in scientific writing and oral communication.
7. Capacity to communicate efficiently with colleagues from different disciplines.
8. Willingness to contribute to the day-to-day guidance of a PhD student.
