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

Heidelberg University in Germany is advertising two open PhD positions in the Blasco Group at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM).

The research environment is highly interdisciplinary and sits at the interface of materials science, chemistry, optics, and polymer engineering. The group focuses on the design and synthesis of polymer-based functional materials for 3D/4D printing, including light-based printing methods such as two-photon laser printing and digital light processing. One position specifically mentions interest in materials science and 3D printing within the Collaborative Research Center on N-heteropolycycles as functional materials.

Applicants should be motivated and prepared to submit an academic CV, motivation letter, and transcripts. The post does not list detailed GPA, degree, or language-test requirements, so candidates should check the linked project pages and application portal for full eligibility criteria.

Application routes differ by position: one requires email submission to the listed supervisors, while the other uses an online portal. The deadline for both positions is 15 June 2026.

This opportunity is best suited to students interested in materials science, chemistry, polymer functional materials, 3D/4D printing, and advanced materials engineering.
