The Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BMT) at the University of Stuttgart is inviting applications for two PhD positions in the field of biomedical engineering. The institute is recognized for its research in medical technology, with a particular focus on clinical and practical medicine. The current openings are in the areas of hemodynamics and polymer-based vascular implants, offering candidates the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in cardiovascular engineering and minimally invasive implant technologies. Research at BMT is highly interdisciplinary, combining technical innovation with biomedical applications. The institute fosters an international environment, making it an ideal place for motivated PhD candidates eager to advance their expertise and contribute to the growth of a dynamic research group. The successful candidates will join a team working at the intersection of engineering, materials science, and medical science, with projects that have direct clinical relevance. The positions are supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Giorgio Cattaneo, the institute director and dean of studies for the Master in Medical Engineering. The research topics include the development and analysis of polymer-based vascular implants and the study of hemodynamics, both of which are crucial for advancing minimally invasive medical technologies. Applicants should have a strong background in biomedical engineering or a closely related field, and should be highly motivated to work in an interdisciplinary and international setting. While specific degree, GPA, or language requirements are not detailed in the announcement, enthusiasm for the research topics and a willingness to contribute to the institute's growth are emphasized. Funding details are not specified in the announcement. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the provided application link for further information and to submit their applications. The deadline for applications is December 22, 2025.
