PhD Positions in Materials Science, 3D Printing, and Biomaterials at Heidelberg University Heidelberg University in Germany

Heidelberg University is advertising two PhD openings in the Blasco Group / Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM). The positions are centered on materials science, chemistry, 3D printing, biomaterials, and related interdisciplinary research.

PhD Position 1 is within the Collaborative Research Center on N-heteropolycycles as functional materials. The project focuses on functional materials for 3D microstructures, including two-photon laser printing, digital light processing, fluorescence, and photopolymerizable N-heteropolycyclic compounds. The research environment is strongly connected to polymer-based functional materials and advanced printing technologies.

PhD Position 2 is in the new Cluster of Excellence SynthImmune and targets the design of innovative biomaterials at the interface of chemistry, materials science, and biomedical research. The post emphasizes a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary setting.

Eligibility highlights: the group is seeking motivated, curious, and enthusiastic candidates with a strong interest in innovative materials research. The first project is especially suited to applicants interested in materials science and 3D printing; the second suits applicants interested in biomaterials and interdisciplinary chemistry/biomedical work.

Application process: for Position 1, send a single PDF with CV, motivation letter, and transcripts by email to Eva Blasco and Christoph Spiegel. For Position 2, apply via the online portal. Deadline: 2026-06-15.

The post is from Professor Eva Blasco at Heidelberg University, Germany, and the group page confirms research in organic chemistry, materials science, optics, and polymer-based functional materials for 3D/4D printing.
