2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Biology on the Discovery of Multimodal Biomarkers
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will focus on the characterization of molecular determinants that lead to stalled wound healing and chronic wound development. The student will guide analyses of datasets obtained through a comprehensive proteomic and metabolomic characterization of wound exudates. The PhD student will work closely both with clinical partners as well as with Empa groups responsible for the translation of research results. The PhD candidate will implement existing and develop novel approaches for biomarker identification from high throughput molecular measurements.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in multi-constituent nanopastes for sinter-bonding
Summary of PhD Program:
The Laboratory of Joining Technologies and Corrosion at Empa in Dübendorf drives innovations in joining technologies and corrosion management to enable evolution towards increasingly efficient, reliable and sustainable material technologies. Joining is a key-enabling technology for advanced manufacturing. In order to address increasingly complex demands on joining (dissimilar materials combinations, miniaturisation, extreme operation conditions, thermal management issues, life-cycle considerations and sustainability,…), nano-micro-joining (NMJ) aims at utilising nanoscale, out-of-equilibrium effects for joining purposes, e.g. to achieve joints with higher operation temperature at lower joining temperature.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Application of Raman spectroscopy for Biomarker Detection in Wounds
Summary of PhD Program:
The Nanomaterials Spectroscopy and Imaging group at the Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Laboratory is offering a PhD position focused on demonstrating Raman spectroscopy as a rapid, noninvasive, and label-free omics technology enabling metabolic profiling and biomarker detection in wound exudates. The project will be part of a larger Empa’s initiative, called Wound Booster focused on the design of a self-care integrated system to completely understand, simulate and monitor skin wound evolution, with the ultimate aim to treat and prevent chronic wounds.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Compression-Dominant 3D-Printed Concrete Structural Systems for Buildings
Summary of PhD Program:
