About this position

Empa is advertising a PhD position in nanozyme-based coatings for antimicrobial implants at its site in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The project focuses on developing smart surface coatings that protect medical implants from bacterial infections and biofilm formation directly at the implant surface.

The work sits at the intersection of nanozymes, catalysis, antimicrobial technologies, biomaterials, medical devices, and nano-bio interactions. The candidate will join the Nanozyme Team and the Nanointercell Research Group at Empa and will work under the supervision of Giacomo Reina.

This PhD is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network Implant-to-Market (i2M), which connects academic, clinical, and industrial partners across Europe. The post highlights an interdisciplinary and international environment, with opportunities for training, networking, and secondments.

Applicants should be curious, ambitious, and motivated to build new antimicrobial implant technologies. Applications must be submitted via the official Empa application portal; applications sent by email or LinkedIn will not be considered.
