PhD: Mechanoregulated Hydrogels to Guide Osteogenesis

University of Basel; Lavamünd; Vor Ort; EUR 63.000 - 95.000; Vollzeit

Benefits dieser Stelle

Fully paid PhD position

Salary based on SNSF guidelines

Access to core facilities

Zusammenfassung

University of Basel invites applications for a PhD project focused on interdisciplinary hydrogel engineering to study osteogenesis and mechanoregulation in human dental pulp stem cells. You will design hydrogels with tunable viscoelasticity and architecture, while integrating computational modelling for predictive insights.

The position offers a fully funded PhD with a salary aligned to Swiss National Science Foundation guidelines, and close supervision within the Swiss Nanoscience Institute.

Qualifikationen

• Master in Nanosciences or related field from an institute recognised by University of Basel.
• Experience in cell biology experiments and data analysis is desirable.
• Strong communication in English and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.

Aufgaben

• Develop environmentally instructive hydrogels with controlled pore size and viscoelastic properties.
• Perform characterisation using rheometry and AFM to study mechanical properties.
• Collaborate on computational modelling to predict cell responses and mechanoregulation.
