Job description
Contexte et atouts du poste
The postdoc position is open in the framework of the ANR project OVOPAUSE led by MUSCA, gathering researchers from different institutions and scientific background (applied mathematics, developmental and reproductive biology).
The position is an opportunity to be involved in a strongly interdisciplinary consortium, and to strengthen experience in mathematical and computational biology by working on the analysis of coupled ODE-PDE models.
Mission confiée
The detailed subject is avalaible at: From these studies, theoretical results on the longtime analysis of coupled PDE/ODE systems are expected, as well as outcomes in comparative physiology highlighting the shared mechanisms and species-specific differences in germ cell dynamics among vertebrate species (e.g. in mammals compared to fish).
