PhD Positions in Soft & Living Materials, ETH Zurich, Switzerland (2017)

The Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials at ETH Zürich has multiple openings for PhD students on the general topic of ‘Physical Mechanisms Underlying the Structure and Rheology of Living Materials.’
PhD Positions in Soft and Living Materials

This research, led by Prof. Eric Dufresne, lies at the boundary between physics, materials science and biology. The specific topics for the theses include, but are not limited to:
a) The self-assembly of intrinsically disordered proteins
b) The folding of lipid bilayers through the self-assembly of adsorbed molecules

These positions are funded by a new grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, and work on the thesis can start immediately.
Motivated students with a background in any one of the mentioned areas and an interest in the others are welcome to apply. To qualify, students must have a Masters degree in a related field.
