The Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BMT) at the University of Stuttgart focuses on minimally invasive, catheter-based technologies for cardiovascular and neurovascular applications. Our research spans implant design and manufacturing, biofluid dynamics, anatomical models, and tissue engineering. We work in a highly interdisciplinary environment, leveraging strong synergies across the fields of biology, material science and medicine. We are committed to high-quality teaching, the active involvement of students in research, and international mobility with international partner institutions. As a young institute, we are looking for highly motivated researches to continue expanding our research.
Position Description
We are offering a PhD position (m/f/d) for a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest in biomedical engineering. The research project is embedded in a DFG-funded project in collaboration with a partner institute in the field of biology, focusing on hemodynamic studies in anatomical models. Key aspects of the project include the development of a pulsatile flow system, fabrication of hydrogel-based anatomical models, as well as in-vitro investigation of blood cell clustering mechanisms applying biomolecular and imaging techniques, supported by medical ultrasound. Additional information will be provided in subsequent stages of the application process.
Requirements
- Solid knowledge in mechanics and fluid dynamics
- Basic knowledge of and strong interest in biology
- Very good methodological and analytical skills
- Strong team spirit and enthusiasm for collaborative, interdisciplinary research
What we offer
- An interdisciplinary and international working environment
- Access to a well-equipped laboratory infrastructure with extensive in-house–developed experimental setups
- Work in a young and newly restructured institute, offering room for scientific contribution and personal initiative, including opportunities to supervise students
- Integration into an active scientific network at the University of Stuttgart
Application
Please submit your motivation letter, CV and transcripts as a single PDF file to career@bmt.uni-stuttgart.de with the subject line “Hemodynamics”. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. Please note that only complete applications that clearly address the stated requirements will be considered.
