PhD Opportunities in Biomedical Engineering in Portugal

PhD-holder researcher position in Neuroscience and Neuroengineering at the Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde da Universidade do Porto (i3S) in Porto, Portugal. The project, LOCALISE (Loco-radiolysed multi-modal treatment for glioblastoma self-enhanced chemotherapy and targeted RNA delivery), sits at the intersection of neural science, imaging, and translational bioengineering. The selected researcher will join the Neuroengineering and Computational Neuroscience group at i3S and contr...

This opening is for a PhD Scientific Researcher in the Initial Stage Researcher category within the project Beating4aleft-heart: Ions and cilia motility regulation at the base of heart sidedness (Ref. LCF/PR/HR26/53000026). The project focuses on how ionic regulation and cilia motility contribute to the mechanisms that establish heart sidedness and left-right body asymmetry. The successful researcher will contribute to a work plan centred on two linked aims. First, the project examines a flow ho...

iBET – Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica is recruiting a PhD holder to join an IC&TD project focused on the development and production of complex biopharmaceuticals . The work is framed within collaborative R&D projects with biopharma companies and is aimed at advancing research activities in a biotechnology environment. The position is based at iBET in Oeiras, Portugal, within the department identified as Projet Manager. The successful candidate will contribute to research on com...

This PhD-level research fellowship is based at the Católica Biomedical Research Centre of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Oeiras, Portugal, working in the Nina Schmolka Lab on developmental haematopoiesis . The project focuses on unraveling the molecular control of embryonic blood development , an area where the mechanisms governing early blood commitment are still poorly understood. The successful candidate will join a project that studies how transcriptional and chromatin-based mechani...

MIT Portugal Scholarships support doctoral study within the MIT Portugal programme at Portuguese universities. The scholarship is designed for PhD students whose research aligns with the programme’s strategic areas and who want to join a research community connected to MIT Portugal’s network and professional-development activities. Successful applicants pursue their PhD at a Portuguese university rather than at MIT, while becoming part of the MIT Portugal Community. The programme’s focus areas i...

FEUP is advertising 1 PhD Researcher position linked to the SAVERACK project (reference: INVTERM-FEUP-26-5 ). This is a doctoral research opportunity hosted by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto in Portugal. The posting provided here is very limited and does not include the full project theme, research tasks, supervisor details, funding notes, or eligibility criteria. Based on the title, the opportunity is clearly intended for a PhD-level researcher rather than a postdoctoral ...

PhD opportunity in Living Bioelectronic Interfaces with Large Motile Diatoms at the University of Coimbra , Centre for Functional Ecology – Science for People & the Planet, in collaboration with CNRS / LEMAR (Brest, France) . This project sits at the intersection of marine biology , biochemistry , biophysics , bioengineering , bioelectronics , and environmental sensing . The research asks whether the size, gliding motility, and biofilm dynamics of large diatoms such as Pleurosigma strigosum can ...

Felipe Court, Director of the Center for Aging Research and Healthy Longevity at Universidad Mayor (Santiago, Chile), is advertising 3 research positions in the Court Lab for an international project running 3–5 years . The project focuses on translational neuromuscular regeneration with hands-on work using rodent models of nerve injury and repair . The team will collaborate with partner labs in the United States, making this a strong opportunity for candidates interested in aging research, rege...
