PhD Student Position in Cell Biology

PhD Student Position in Cell Biology

Die UniBE ist renommiert. Bei uns profitieren Sie vom guten Ruf einer traditionsreichen Institution in der ganzen Welt.

We are offering a PhD position to a highly motivated student. The research project investigates the impact of biomechanical stimulation, recreating the mechanical environment of bone tissue under physiological and dental surgical conditions, on cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions involved in early bone healing events. The project will utilize a variety of cell and molecular biological techniques to investigate molecular interactions that provide instructive cues for osteogenesis and osseointegration, with the aim of supporting personalized treatment approaches in dental implantology.

• Master's degree in Cell or Molecular Biology. Candidates with a Master's degree in Dental Medicine will also be considered.
• Previous experience in cell culture techniques (primary and immortalized cells), as well as cell and molecular biological methods, is a strong asset.
• Additional experience in genomics, bioinformatics, imaging, and related image-analysis technologies is advantageous but not required.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English.
• Ability to work both under supervision and independently, while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

We offer

• A full-time PhD position funded according to SNSF regulations. Candidates who already hold an external scholarship providing financial support for their PhD studies will have an advantage.
• The successful applicant will join a small research team within a collaborative research environment and will be enrolled in the Graduate School for Cellular and Biomedical Sciences (www.gcb.unibe.ch). This will complement the laboratory training with opportunities for further academic education.
• Access to modern laboratory infrastructure and central university core facilities.
• The opportunity to contribute to highly translational research projects and to produce results of interest to a broad audience, ranging from basic researchers to clinicians in the fields of dental implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and orthopedics.
