Submitted by John M. Kolinski on

Assistantship in the Maddocks group at the EPFL http://lcvmwww.epfl.ch

A position is available to work on a combined analytical, numerical and experimental study of uniform elastic rods in two contexts:

1)  the characterisation of helical equilibria, including stability properties, in both the cases of self-avoiding and self-contacting configurations,

and

2) the equilibria of knots in the presence of friction.
