13 PhD positions (m/f/d) biology, physics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, bioinformatics, biotechnology, modeling, image analysis or any other relevant field
are available, starting July 1, 2019. The positions are project-related offered on a contract for three years. The salary corresponds to level 13 TV-L. The successful candidate has the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree.
MEÆŽT is coordinated by RWTH Aachen University (speaker Rudolf Leube). It integrates an interdisciplinary consortium of cell biologists, biophysicists and bioengineers investigating the mechanisms that influence the properties and formation of epithelial tissues. This basic research is aimed at contributing to the development of complex tissue constructs for studying, understanding, and treating human diseases. The Research Training Group will provide in-depth expertise in cell biology, biophysics, and mathematical modelling of epithelial tissues, foster the spirit of transdisciplinary collaboration, and offer hands-on training in cutting-edge techniques of mechanobiology, tissue engineering, and high resolution microscopy. A coherent, though flexible curriculum will build a solid foundation in the core concepts and key questions of mechanobiology. Combined with innovative qualification elements, professional skill development, international network building, and - most importantly
- the opportunity to conduct independent research in a nurturing environment, MEÆŽT aims to train scientists in the field of mechanobiology for competing at the highest international level. For further information see me3t.rwth-aachen.de. https://me3t.rwth-aachen.de/application.html
Given the transdisciplinary character of the Research Training Group, candidates from diverse background including all, but not limited to life sciences should apply.
Successful applicants should have an excellent Master's degree (or equivalent) in biology, physics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, bioinformatics, biotechnology, modeling, image analysis or any other relevant field). Fluency in English is required.
