1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Surgical applications of lasers
Summary of PhD Program:
The Center for Intelligent Optics (CIO) is a part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Basel. The research interests include developing intelligent optical technologies for medical applications.
The successful PhD candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary team of biomedical engineers, mathematicians, mechatronics engineers, computer scientists, physicists, and medical doctors. He or she will be able to contribute to developing a disruptive technology in robotic surgery.
Application Deadline: 20 July 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Economics
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful candidate will conduct high-level scientific research towards a PhD, contribute to an ongoing research project on e-bike sharing, and develop and pursue his/her own research agenda. Apart from the e-bike sharing project (POTEBS, together with HSLU), the research group is connected to larger research collaborations in the domain of energy transitions and climate policy (SWEET CoSi) and aims to build up new projects in the domains of circular economy and land use change.
Application Deadline: July 12th, 2024

3. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Atmospheric Sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
Two PhD studentships are available to characterize health-relevant properties of aerosol particles. Our group develops novel instruments to measure continuously oxidising properties of aerosol particles in the ambient atmosphere and in laboratory experiments (e.g., Utinger et al., Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2023, 2641–2654) and we characterise these aerosols in detail with a range of analytical techniques such as HPLC-MS.
The two PhD student projects will focus on expanding the measurement capability of the instrument developed by Utinger et al., 2023, and characterise in detail oxidising, i.e. toxic, particle properties in field and lab experiments. This work includes also further instrument improvements to expand the measurement capabilities of our novel technique.
Application Deadline: 24th June 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomedical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will focus on the development and refinement of methods for the real-time analysis of metabolic traces in breath. The aim is to enable direct clinical applications through innovative approaches in mass spectrometry and data analysis. The project offers the opportunity to work closely with leading experts in the field of respiratory research and to measure and analyze real patient data.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in European Global Studies
Summary of PhD Program:
Write a thesis in the context of the project “Historical Perspectives on Comparative Philosophy: A Digital Humanities Mapping Approach and Paul Masson-Oursel as Nodal Point for a Global History,” funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and focusing on the French philosopher Paul Masson-Oursel (1882–1956) and his work on comparative philosophy against the background of earlier discussions on the topic in India, particularly by Brajendra Nath Seal (1864–1938) and Virchand Raghavji Gandhi (1864–1901).
