PhD and Postdoc Positions in Physics: The Meroz Lab at Tel Aviv University is inviting applications for PhD and postdoctoral positions for the ERC-funded project GROWsmart. The research focuses on uncovering the physical principles behind how plants utilize stochastic dynamics in signaling molecules to encode sensory information and coordinate complex navigation. This interdisciplinary project aims to provide transformative insights into distributed computation across biological and physical systems, with a special emphasis on plant tropisms.
