Doctoral Position in Computational Mechanics
The successful candidate will work within a DFG-funded Emmy Noether research project on computational methods for adhesion with applications in biomechanics and composites. The aim of the project is the mechanical modelling, simulation, investigation and optimization of adhesion mechanisms as they occur for example in gecko adhesion. The topic offers [...]

Ph.D position: Monitoring cellular activity using SECM

Ph.D vacancy (4 years): SECM characterization of functional microtissues in a microfabricated environment.
Job description
Multicellular spheroids play an important role in the fields of tissue engineering and tumor biology as models for tissues since these 3D cell aggregates better mimic in vivo conditions, by reproducing nutrient and signal gradients, cell-cell contacts as well as extracellular matrix (ECM) [...]

2 PhD positions Bayesian Biometrics for Forensics (2fte)

Research project description
With various forms of biometric technologies becoming available, there is a growing need for
scientists who are able to assess the merits of these technologies when applied to forensics. The
Marie Curie Initial Training Network Bayesian Biometrics for Forensics (BBfor2) will provide a
training infrastructure that will educate Early Stage Researchers in the core biometric
technologies of [...]

PhD in a project called Advanced Laser Induced Subsurface Separation ALISS

Chair
The chair of Applied Laser Technology at Twente University is focusing on machines for the lasering of Materials. The physical aspects of laser material interaction with ultra short pulses are studied and processes are improved by sensoring and automation. The production of micro- and nano-structured surfaces with femto- and pico-second pulsed laser ablation is an [...]

PhD position in ecological monitoring by satellite remote sensing and forest change modelling

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate to take part in an international research project whose goal is to predict the evolution of carbon stocks and fluxes in Central African forests. The project will involve both ecological monitoring by satellite remote-sensing and deforestation modelling. The PhD candidate will be based [...]
