About this position

Leibniz University Hannover is advertising a PhD position in biofabrication within the Institute of Cell Biology and Biophysics. The project, AdipoScale / Scalable Production of Functional 3D Adipose Tissue, focuses on building functional, vascularized human adipose tissue in the lab and developing a scalable manufacturing process for 3D tissue building blocks.

The research combines stem cell biology, tissue engineering, biomaterials, bioprocess engineering, and 3D cell culture. The successful candidate will work with human mesenchymal stem cells, tailored hydrogels, heterocellular tissue constructs, vascularization, and characterization of tissue function such as perfusion, secretory activity, insulin sensitivity, and fatty acid uptake. The work is highly relevant to next-generation in vitro tissue models, drug screening, and reducing animal use.

The position is a doctoral researcher role, fixed-term for 36 months, paid at salary scale 13 TV-L, 65%. It is part of a DFG-funded project and offers the opportunity to pursue a PhD at Leibniz University Hannover in Germany.

Eligibility highlights include a university degree in biology, biotechnology, life sciences, or a related field; practical experience with adherent stem cell culture; knowledge in at least two of the following areas: stem cell biology, tissue engineering, biofabrication, biomaterials, and bioprocess engineering; and hands-on experience with qPCR, Western blot, ELISA, and sterile technique. Very good German and English skills are required, and experience with 3D cell culture, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, or confocal microscopy is an advantage.

The application deadline is 22 May 2026. Applicants should submit a motivation letter, CV, and certificates electronically to [email protected] or by post to the Institute of Cell Biology and Biophysics. For more information, contact Prof. Dr. Dominik Egger.
