About this position

The Biomaterials Engineering research group at ETH Zürich’s Department of Health Sciences and Technology is recruiting a PhD student to advance research in biomaterials engineering for in vitro disease modeling. The group specializes in developing innovative biomaterials and biomanufacturing systems, integrating biomaterials science, 3D bioprinting, and biomechanics to create functional 3D organoid systems. This work aims to reduce reliance on animal models, adhering to the 3Rs principle, and focuses on next-generation human musculoskeletal organoid models.

The successful candidate will be involved in designing, synthesizing, and engineering biomaterials with customizable properties, evaluating and optimizing the physicochemical properties of biomaterial scaffolds for 3D organoid culture, and supporting experimental validation, analysis, and documentation. The position is embedded in a multidisciplinary team, offering collaboration opportunities with experts in mechanical engineering, tissue engineering, and the biomedical field. ETH Zürich provides access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure, including advanced bioprinters, and offers numerous benefits such as public transport season tickets, car sharing, sports facilities, childcare, and attractive pension plans.

The university values integrity, teamwork, openness, scientific curiosity, diversity, and empathy, and promotes an inclusive and sustainable working environment. Applicants should have a Master’s degree in biomedical engineering, chemistry, interdisciplinary sciences, or related fields, with a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry, materials synthesis, and engineering.

Experience in microfabrication, hydrogel handling, or cell culture is advantageous. Excellent English communication skills are required. Applications are accepted exclusively through the ETH Zurich online portal and must include a CV, motivational letter, contact details of three references, and transcripts of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. For further information about the group, candidates can visit the Biomaterials Engineering Laboratory website.

ETH Zürich is recognized globally for its excellence in science and technology, fostering independent thinking and providing an inspiring environment for over 30,000 people from more than 120 countries.
