About this position

The Adolphe Merkle Institute’s BioNanomaterials group at the University of Fribourg is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary project focused on lung tissue engineering and the hazard assessment of exhaust emissions. The research aims to develop a toxicity screening approach to identify highly toxic pollutants from different emission sources and to support the ranking of fuel and engine technologies according to their hazard potential.

This project is part of the Horizon Europe LowC collaboration and involves partners in Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, and Greece. The role includes work across the interface of cell biology and bionanomaterials, with regular travel expected as part of the international project network.

The position is hosted in a research environment described as stimulating and interdisciplinary, with state-of-the-art laboratories and strong career prospects. The post is supervised by Prof. Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser, whose group focuses on bio-nanomaterials and related biological applications. The project combines experimental cell-based methods with application-driven assessment of emissions and pollutants.
