Two PhD positions in Biophysics and Rheology of Bacterial Biofilms ETH Zürich in Switzerland

Doctoral position on molecular engineering of dynamic covalent hydrogels at ETH Zurich, within the Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory led by Prof. Mark W. Tibbitt in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT). The project focuses on understanding how molecular-scale features control the mechanics and flow of dynamic covalent hydrogels , a class of viscoelastic soft materials based on reversible covalent cross-links such as boronate esters, hydrazones, imines, and disulfides...

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, offers a unique PhD opportunity focused on the structural study of the stratum corneum lipid interfaces. This project aims to advance our understanding of the human skin’s primary barrier, the stratum corneum, by investigating the interface between corneocytes and intercellular lipids using state-of-the-art neutron diffraction, neutron reflectometry, and advanced optical microscopy techniques. The research is fundamentally o...

Prof. Aminu Ma'aruf Nass at Durham University is recruiting for a new research group in the Department of Physics . The group works at the intersection of statistical physics , biophysics , and soft matter , with a focus on how information is processed in living systems through noisy, coupled mechanical and chemical modes across multiple timescales. The research theme also connects to the emergence of intelligence in soft matter. Openings: one fully funded PhD position for UK home students , plu...

Postdoc position in Theoretical Biophysics at the University of Basel , Switzerland, associated with the Theoretical Physics of Living Systems / Biozentrum research group page linked in the post. This is a research opening for candidates interested in physics , biophysics , and the study of living systems . The post does not provide detailed eligibility, funding, or deadline information in the text shown, so applicants should check the linked announcement for full requirements and application st...

PhD position opening in Active Soft Matter Physics at the University of Twente , The Netherlands. The vacancy is titled “Synthetic Active Matter: Unravelling 3D Real-Space Dynamics” and appears to focus on research in active matter, soft matter physics, and the dynamics of synthetic active systems. This is a PhD opening rather than a postdoctoral or master’s opportunity. The post does not mention funding details, stipend, tuition coverage, or specific eligibility requirements beyond the research...
