Doctoral Position on viscoelastic hydrogels for 3D mechanobiology and tissue repair

The Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory (Prof. Mark W. Tibbitt) within the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT) at ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland engineers and applies advanced polymeric materials for a range of biomedical and industrial uses. The recent focus of the group () includes the development of: (i) rational design of dynamic polymer networks; (ii) (bio)material processing; (iii) organ perfusion and regeneration; (iv) tools to study mechanobiology and cellmatrix interactions; and (v) engineered drug delivery systems. The lab is composed of a highly interdisciplinary and international team of motivated researchers. To expand on our ability to engineer viscoelastic biomaterials and deploy them as tailorable 3D cell culture platforms for mechanobiology and tissue repair, we are recruiting a full-time (100%) doctoral candidate, with an intende...
