Offer Description

REMOD-HEALING: “Targeting Extracellular Matrix Remodelling in Cutaneous Wounds to Promote Better Healing”

REMOD-HEALING Call for applications for 12 Doctoral (PhD) Training Positions in biochemistry, structural biology, proteomics, novel detection and screening methods and pre-clinical models for wound healing and regenerative medicine applications.

REMOD-HEALING is a Doctoral Network funded by the Horizon Europe Programme of the European Union. The REMOD-HEALING Consortium has funding for 12 full-time (100%) doctoral scholarships (locations across Europe and Costa Rica) within the context of the recently approved Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN).

REMOD-HEALING is a research network of leading European and Latin American scientists from academia and industry, who want to tackle the burden of pathological wounds by exploiting therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with extracellular matrix remodelling in cutaneous wounds. Through its research and training activities, the REMOD-HEALING project will contribute to scientific advancement and innovation in wound healing and regenerative medicine through a coordinated, interdisciplinary effort, ultimately leading to societal and economic benefits (more information coming soon on REMOD-HEALING website: https://remod-healing.eu).

Participating in REMOD-HEALING offers doctoral candidates many unique opportunities, including:

• A 36 month project as Marie Skłodowska Curie trainee in one of the participating institutions with the objective of receiving a doctoral degree (PhD).
• State-of-the-art, exciting research in an international consortium with highly integrated research projects.
• Expert training in basic and applied research, along with a thorough understanding of the process involved in transitioning from basic to pre-clinical research.
• Research training periods in another consortium member's lab lasting from a few weeks up to three months, performed in a different EU country than the country where most of the project will take place.
• Training in both academic and industrial research environments.
• Salary according to EU guidelines for Marie Skłodowska Curie trainees, including mobility payments and family allowances where applicable.

REMOD-HEALING will select Doctoral Candidates in a two-step recruitment process.

The selection procedure will be open, transparent, and merit-based, fully aligned with the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. The selection will be based on the quality of applications and gender balance will also be considered.

Applications (in English) must include:

• A letter of motivation which explains the interest in the position and emphasizes the candidate’s strengths regarding the project and its requirements (max 2 pages);
• A summary of the applicant’s Master thesis (max 1 page);
• A transcript along with a scanned copy of your Master’s Degree certificate. If the degree has not been awarded by the application closing date, the candidate should submit a declaration signed by their supervisor or University official stating that the degree will be obtained by the time of PhD enrolment.
• Two letters of recommendation from relevant and appropriate referees or the names and contact details of two Referees (as former Supervisors/PIs).

Applicants should not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host institution for more than 12 months in the 36 months prior to their recruitment date. Applicants may apply for more than one project in the doctoral network, indicating their order of preference of projects to the supervisors. The application documents, combined in a single PDF file, should be sent by email to the relevant project supervisor (email addresses in individual project descriptions below) or, where specified, submitted through the individual partner’s recruitment application platform. The subject line of the email must be in the following format: “REMOD-HEALING: application for Title of PhD project”.

The closing date for applications is 31st October 2025 for the project at the University of Manchester (# 6) and 30th November 2025 for all other projects.

Applicants are advised to familiarise themselves thoroughly with the projects for which they apply and be ready to answer questions on their chosen topics. The designated project supervisor(s) will review all applications as soon as possible after the application deadline with respect to the candidates’ suitability. As soon as a decision is made, we will notify candidates. If candidates are still eligible after the pre-selection, they will be informed about the possible next step(s) in the selection procedure, including a 6-minute recorded presentation describing why they applied for the project, and how their skills and experience relate to it. The most promising candidates will then be invited to an online interview with members of the REMOD-HEALING Consortium selection committee.

Recruitments are expected to be completed between May and July 2026.
