Join to apply for the PhD Position in Engineering Viscoelastic Cellular Microenvironments for Immune-Stem Cell Interaction Studies role at PhDFinder University: Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC)

Country: Spain

Deadline: 19 May 2025

The Microenvironments for Medicine Research Group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) invites applications for a PhD researcher position.

The successful candidate will develop 2D and 3D models to study interactions between the immune system and stem cells within hydrogels possessing controlled viscoelastic properties.

This work is part of the ERC AdG Devise project, which aims to engineer physiologically relevant viscoelastic cellular microenvironments.

Key Responsibilities

– Synthesize novel viscoelastic hydrogels and conduct advanced rheological characterizations.

– Perform cell culture in 2D and 3D hydrogels.

– Apply cellular and molecular biology techniques.

– Conduct advanced live microscopy experiments.

– Utilize computational simulations to analyze cell-material interactions.

Requirements

– Degree and Master's in physics, biology, engineering, chemistry, or related fields.

– Multidisciplinary background (e.g., Physics/Maths, Physics/Engineering) and/or knowledge of hydrogels or cell biology (expertise in advanced microscopy techniques considered an asset).

– Strong competencies in communication, teamwork, commitment, proactivity, integrity, and critical/analytical thinking.

– High level of English proficiency.

– Applicants must not yet hold a doctoral degree.

Additional Considerations

– Experience in computational modeling of biological systems and/or with immune and mesenchymal stem cells is advantageous.

Offer

– One full-time, 4-year contract with flexible start date from 1 June 2025.

– Competitive salary based on experience.

– Supportive work-life balance policies, including flexible scheduling, paid holidays, and parental leave.

– Access to a wide range of training and professional development opportunities.

– International, interdisciplinary research environment with support for foreign candidates relocating to Barcelona.
