The University Hospital of Tübingen is a leading center of German university medicine. Every year, around 75,000 inpatients and around 380,000 outpatients are treated. With around 10,600 employees, it is the largest employer in the region. The quality of patient care is certified with the KTQ seal of approval.
For our Institute of Neuroanatomy and Developmental Biology we are looking for a

**PhD Biomedical Engineering (f/m/d)**:
for the AG Achberger as soon as possible/estimiated for March 2025 in parttime (65%) and limited for 3 years.
- Our vibrant research group is dedicated to developing and utilizing innovative in vitro models derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (human iPSCs) to investigate developmental processes and disease mechanisms. Our primary focus is on employing retinal organoids and our cutting-edge model system, the retina-on-a-chip, as platforms for disease modeling and drug screening. For more information, please visit our webpage.**Your tasks**:
- Cell Culture: Handling and differentiation of human iPSCs and retinal organoids
- Bioengineering: Developing multi-organoid systems, co-culture models, and engineered organoids
- Organ-on-Chip Technology: Designing and implementing microfluidic platforms for retinal modeling
- Immunocytochemistry: Advanced staining and imaging techniques
- Microscopy and Image Analysis: High-resolution imaging and quantitative analysis
- RNA-based Analysis Methods: Including RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing
- Flow Cytometry/FACS: Cellular analysis and sorting techniques
- This project offers an opportunity to develop cutting-edge skills at the intersection of stem cell biology, bioengineering, and advanced molecular techniques.**Your profile**:

- Master’s degree in life sciences, molecular biology, or a related field
- Experience in cell culture, particularly with stem cells (e.g., human induced pluripotent stem cells), and proficiency in molecular biology techniques such as qPCR and immunocytochemistry is highly desirable
- Excellent proficiency in English is essential
- Basic programming skills (e.g., R, Python) and familiarity with scientific software (e.g., ImageJ, Prism) are a plus

**We offer**:

- A dynamic and highly motivated team in an international work environment
- The opportunity to work with state-of-the-art bioengineering technologies
- Flexible working hours to support work-life balance
