PhD Position in Biofabrication and Tissue Engineering

A PhD position is available in the Engel lab, which is part of a large project grant (SFB_TRR225) focused on biofabricating functional tissues. The research areas include biofabrication, vascularization, silk, hiPSC, heart, cardiomyocytes, microfluidics, and endothelial cells. The Engel lab is a highly interdisciplinary and international team of 15 researchers, with a strong publication record in top journals such as Nature Communications, eLife, PNAS, Cell Research, Advanced Materials, and Biomaterials. The lab has also contributed to publications in Cell, Nature Cell Biology, and Molecular Cell. The ideal candidate should be highly motivated and ambitious, with experience in one or more of the following: biofabrication, vascularization, silk, hiPSC, heart, cardiomyocytes, microfluidics, and/or endothelial cells. The position is funded by a large project grant, but specific details about the stipend or tuition coverage are not provided. The opportunity is likely based at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany, given the supervisor's email domain and the context of the SFB_TRR225 grant. To apply, interested candidates should contact Felix Engel at [email protected]. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of biology, biomedical engineering, and materials science, with a focus on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
