Main goals
The main object we consider in this project is a random path interacting either with a random medium or with its own path. One typical example one may keep in mind is a protein interacting with a solvent, but one can also think about the trajectory of an electron in a heterogeneous conducting medium or trails formed by a colony of ants searching for food. For such paths, or family of paths, we wish to focus on localization phenomena. These are ubiquitous features of many physical, chemical or biological systems: when subject to interactions these random paths may localize in some small region of space and/or adopt aspecific shape. Our project aims at studying different aspects of these localization phenomena, in particular for polymer models, branching random walks subject to constraints and reinforced processes. Our goal is to describe with precision the localization properties of the different models, but also, and maybe more importantly, to unravel the different mechanisms behind these localization phenomena.
Post-doctoral positions
Deux post-docs en Probabilités de 2 ans chacun sont susceptibles d’être ouverts à partir de Septembre 2023 (date flexible). Les post-doc pourront être localisés à Paris ou à Lyon.
- Les thèmes de recherche couvrent les thématiques de l’ANR LOCAL, marches aléatoires, marches branchantes, marches renforcées, et polymères, au sens large.
- Les dossiers de candidature sont à envoyer avant le 14 décembre 2022 à l’un des membres de l’ANR LOCAL et devront contenir CV détaillé avec liste de publications, brève description des travaux et intérêts de recherche, et éventuellement une ou deux lettres de recommandation.
