About this position

PhD position in immunometabolism at the University of Zurich / University Hospital Zurich in the research group of Theresa Rohm (SNSF Professor). The project sits at the interface of metabolic disease, inflammation, macrophages, extracellular vesicles (EVs), microRNAs, and RNA biology, with a strong focus on obesity and type 2 diabetes.

The successful candidate will join the Life Science Zurich Graduate School (PhD programs: BioMed and MIM) and work on a recently funded SNSF Starting Grant project aimed at decoding how macrophage-derived EVs regulate metabolism and inflammation. The work combines in vivo and in vitro models, obesity mouse models, cell culture, single-cell sequencing, small RNA sequencing, genomics, and RNA biology.

Ideal applicants have an MSc in biology, biomedicine, or a related field, and a strong interest in metabolism, immunology, and RNA biology. Experience with cell culture and/or in vivo work is a plus. The graduate school page also notes that applicants should hold or expect a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in natural sciences, computer sciences, or engineering, and have excellent English skills.

This is a PhD opening with a flexible start date in late 2026 or 2027. The post emphasizes a supportive, collaborative environment with close mentorship, independence, and career development. Applications are submitted via Track I through the provided portal.
