About this position

PhD opportunities are open at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in the Faculty of Biology, within the Muscle Biology Lab led by Associate Professor Shenhav Shemer. The lab is recruiting outstanding PhD students and exceptional MSc students to work on questions at the interface of healthy aging, space biology, mechanobiology, metabolism, regenerative medicine, and bioengineering.

The research focuses on how skeletal muscle senses mechanical and metabolic stress, why muscle wasting occurs in aging, disease, disuse, microgravity, and during GLP-1 therapy, and how these processes can be prevented. Methods mentioned include molecular biology, advanced microscopy, human stem-cell models, extracellular vesicles, animal models, and simulated microgravity. The lab also aims to develop next-generation functional proteins and nutritional strategies to promote muscle health.

This is a strong fit for students interested in biology, biomedical engineering, and medically relevant translational research with applications to aging, disease, and future human space exploration. The post emphasizes a supportive, ambitious, and highly collaborative environment with close mentorship and international collaboration.

To apply, email your CV, academic transcripts, and a short statement of your research interests to [email protected]. No deadline, funding package, or tuition/stipend details are stated in the post.
