PhD Position in Reproductive Mechanobiology
Join a pioneering project exploring the mechanics of the female reproductive system.
Best for:Ideal for candidates with a background in reproductive biology and a passion for experimental research.
Overview
This PhD position focuses on the mechanical properties of the female reproductive tract and their impact on tissue function. Conducted within the ERC Starting Grant project REPROMECH, the research combines reproductive biology, mechanobiology, and experimental biophysics. The successful candidate will engage in quantifying mechanical properties through advanced microscopy and other techniques. Applicants should be prepared for hands-on experimental work and possess a strong analytical mindset.
What you'll do
- Measure and quantify the mechanical properties of the female reproductive tract using various techniques.
- Prepare and culture ex vivo tissue samples for analysis.
- Conduct histological characterization of biological samples.
- Perform quantitative image and data analysis.
- Critically analyze and interpret experimental results.
