As part of the DFG (German Research Foundation) funded Transregional Collaborative Re-search Centre TRR 141 on “Biological Design and Integrative Structures”, the Continuums Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Research Group at the Institute of Applied Mechanics (Civil Engineering) seeks a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Computational Biomechanics & Biomimetics.
Within the project A03 of the TRR 141 “Inspired by plants and animals: actively actuated rod-shaped structures exhibiting adaptive stiffness and joint-free continuous kinematics”, the candidate will be responsible for:
The work within this project is in close collaboration with Prof. Jan Knippers (Institut für Tragkonstruktionen und Konstruktives Entwerfen, Universität Stuttgart), Prof. Oliver Betz (Institut für Evolution und Ökologie, Universität Tübingen) and Dr. Olga Speck (Plant Biomechanics Group Freiburg, Botanischer Garten, Universität Freiburg).
The Continuum Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Research Group is embedded within the Cluster of Excellence for Simulation Technology (SimTech) and the Institute of Applied Mechanics (Civil Engineering). The group focuses on skeletal muscle mechanics on different scales (from the cellular scale to the musculoskeletal system scale), on dental biomechanics and has very close linkages to the Fraunhofer IPA.
The Collaborative Research Centre TRR 141 “Biological Design and Integrative Structures” focuses on the analysis and abstraction of design and construction principles in nature and their implementation in architecture. An interdisciplinary team of architects and engineers from the University of Stuttgart, biologists and physicists of the University of Freiburg and geoscientists and evolutionary biologists of the University of Tübingen will analyse and simulate multi-layered, hierarchically structured and finely tuned types of morphology taken from natural structures and develop strategies for implementing them in architecture.
The position is available immediately and is kept open until filled. Please send the usual application documents and any further inquiries electronically to

Within the project A03 of the TRR 141 “Inspired by plants and animals: actively actuated rod-shaped structures exhibiting adaptive stiffness and joint-free continuous kinematics”, the candidate will be responsible for:
• setting up detailed computational models based on imaging data of selected animals and plants,
• driving initiatives to determine the appropriate material parameters, and
• leading the abstraction process of formulating the underlying operating principles of the selected biological concept generators.
