About this position

Doctoral Researcher Position in 3D bioprinting and biofabrication at the University of Würzburg, Germany, within the Translational Organ Microsystems (TOM) Group at the Department of Functional Materials in Medicine and Dentistry (FMZ) / Center of Polymers for Life (CPL).

The project focuses on 3D bioprinting of cell-laden tissue constructs, development and optimization of bioinks and printing parameters, integration of bioprinted tissues with microphysiological systems and perfusion platforms, and functional characterization of advanced human in vitro models.

Research keywords: biomedical engineering, biomaterials, materials science, tissue engineering, biotechnology, cell culture, hydrogels, CAD, additive manufacturing, human in vitro models.

Funding: fully funded PhD position under TV-L E13 (67%).

Eligibility highlights: Master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field; hands-on experience in 3D bioprinting; mammalian cell culture experience; strong written and spoken English; motivation for experimental, interdisciplinary research. Experience with biofabrication, biomaterials/hydrogels, CAD, additive manufacturing, or microphysiological systems is advantageous.

How to apply: Submit a single PDF including a short motivation letter (max one page), CV, academic transcripts, and contact details of two academic referees. Apply by email to [email protected] or via the linked Euraxess page.

Deadline: 30 September 2026, 22:00 (Europe/Berlin).
