About this position

The University of Twente is offering a fully funded 4-year PhD position in the Bioengineering Technologies department, led by Professor Jeroen Leijten. The research focuses on the mass production of annealable pancreatic organoids using microfluidic micromaterials, as part of the ENW-XL PanCreaTE project. The successful candidate will pioneer the annealing of organoid-forming microgels into large, microporous living materials containing perfusable capillary-like networks. This interdisciplinary project sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering, materials science, tissue engineering, and biology, and is conducted in collaboration with Riccardo Levato, Françoise Carlotti, and Anna Alemany.

Applicants should have a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field, with proven expertise in microtechnology, biomaterials, and cell-material interaction. Experience with pancreas biology, tissue engineering, and/or biofabrication is a plus. The University of Twente offers cutting-edge facilities, a collaborative international environment, and a vibrant scientific community. The position is fully funded for four years, though specific stipend and tuition details are not provided.

The application deadline is January 31, 2026. Interested candidates should prepare their CV and supporting documents and apply via the University of Twente's official channels. This opportunity is ideal for candidates passionate about high-impact, interdisciplinary research in bioengineering and related fields.
