About this position
This postdoctoral project is based in the Division of Biomedical Engineering at Uppsala University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, within the EMBLA research group led by Prof. Maria Tenje. The position sits in an internationally active environment focused on biomedical engineering, materials–biology interactions, organ-on-chip systems, and droplet-based microfluidics. The department combines basic and applied research with a state-of-the-art cleanroom laboratory and close links to education and student supervision.
The project develops and evaluates a microfluidic technology platform for studying three-dimensional cell cultures, including spheroids and organoids, with the goal of extending the method to larger 3D constructs and examining its usefulness for biomedical applications. The advertised work builds on a system for continuous oxygen monitoring in individual cells and aims to adapt it for quality control and broader translational use. The research is carried out in collaboration with the Michno lab at the Rudbeck Laboratory and Wojciech Michno, as well as with Lars Behrendt at the Technical University of Denmark, with an explicit ambition to move the technology toward practical and commercial translation.
The successful candidate will work across the full development chain: design, fabrication, characterisation, and optimisation of the Spher-O2-Chip technology; assembly of a portable prototype; development of a suitable plastic fabrication process; evaluation of gas permeability; and application of the system to liver and brain spheroid and organoid models under changing culture conditions. The role also involves publishing the results, presenting at conferences, supervising students to some extent, and contributing to external funding applications.
The group’s research culture is highly collaborative and internationally connected, with work spanning biological systems, microfabrication, device engineering, and translational biomedical technology. The project is positioned at the interface of engineering and life science, and it is linked to a broader ecosystem that includes SciLifeLab and commercialisation-oriented collaboration.
Funding details

What's required
Applicants must have a doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree by the time of the employment decision, and those who earned the PhD within three years before the application deadline are primarily considered unless special circumstances apply. The position requires a doctoral degree in biomedical engineering, engineering physics, nanotechnology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related field. Documented experience is required in fabrication and use of microfluidic systems, including UV lithography, etching of silicon and glass, casting and bonding of PDMS, rapid prototyping tools such as micromilling and laser ablation, polymer additive manufacturing, building experimental platforms for microfluidic systems, and chip-to-world interfaces and control software such as LabVIEW or MATLAB. Very good oral and written English skills and very good scientific writing ability are required. Meritorious experience includes microscopy and optics, mammalian cell culture and characterization, especially iPSCs, DNA/RNA isolation and analyses, qPCR, digital PCR, protein assays, immunolabelling, and IP/commercialisation experience. Applicants should be self-motivated, proactive, able to independently plan and run projects, analytically strong, practical, structured, collaborative, and have good teaching skills.
How to apply
Prepare a letter describing yourself, your goals, and your suitability for the position. Include a CV, list of publications, three relevant publications, degree documents and course grades, a short summary of your doctoral thesis, and if available your thesis as a file or link. Also provide names and contact details of two referees and explain your relationship to each. Submit the application through the Varbi application portal by the deadline.
