University of Bayreuth, Germany invites online application for multiple fully funded PhD Programs in various research areas. Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible.
1. PhD Programs in engineering and bioprinting of diaphragm muscle tissue
Summary of PhD Positions:
We are currently developing interdisciplinary research projects focused on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The projects aim to develop an in vitro model for a diaphragm using 3D bioprinting, and composite fibrous materials. The project is highly interdisciplinary and requires collaboration with researchers from engineering, medicine, and chemistry.
The application-oriented research will be performed in laboratories located at the Department of Biomaterials at the University of Bayreuth. Furthermore, this interdisciplinary project will be performed in close collaboration with muscle and tendon biologists in Austria and Italy as well as biomechanics experts towards characterizing and tuning the mechanical properties of tissue-engineered constructs.
Application Deadlines: Open until filled
2. PhD Programs in Forest Biogeochemistry
Summary of PhD Positions:
The project is part of a long-term and large-scale deadwood experiment (BELongDead) within the Biodiversity Exploratories. In this experiment, functions and process rates of lying deadwood of 13 tree species have been studied at 30 forest sites in three regions in Germany for more than 14 years. This project focusses on the production and traits of humus from decomposing deadwood which is considered as potential source of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems.
It combines field observations, chemical and spectral analyses and microbial processes to assess the quality, stability and functions of tree species specific deadwood humus. Stable isotopes (13C, 15N, 18O) will be applied to quantify microbial process rates including microbial growth, turnover, carbon use efficiency, respiration and nitrogen fixation. In cooperation with project partners, the relationship between chemical-microbial traits and microbial communities of deadwood humus is being investigated.
Application Deadlines: February 15, 2023

3. PhD Programs in fundamental turbulence research
Summary of PhD Positions:
Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature and technology. Yet, developing theories of turbulence, which ultimately all modeling applications rely on, remains an outstanding scientific challenge. The goal of the EU-funded project UniTED is to combine theory and new computational approaches to tackle this long-standing problem and enhance our fundamental understanding of highly turbulent flows.
Application Deadlines: Open until filled
4. PhD Programs in Wildlife Ecology and Quantitative Methods
Summary of PhD Positions:
The use of digital technologies is revolutionizing the capabilities of wildlife research and management. The aim of this project is to utilize the potential of deep learning for the classification of photos taken by wildlife camera traps. The collected data allows a detailed insight into wildlife and visitor activity in the study area “Veldensteiner Forst” in Bavaria, Germany, and is well suited for simultaneously quantifying spatiotemporal changes in the interaction of herbivore, meso-carnivores and larger predators (mainly wolves) with constant human activity (tourism and hunting).
The project builds on established methodological routines and extends an existing large-scale network of wildlife cameras that have been running continuously for several years to address research questions related to species interactions, biodiversity conservation and human landscape use.

5. PhD Programs
Summary of PhD Positions:
You will be responsible for the structural analysis of the perovskites during halide mixing and subsequent demixing processes initiated and driven through temperature and/or illumination stimuli. For this purpose, you will use modern in-situ analytical techniques, such as NMR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. For this we offer a thorough training for hands-on work and the theoretical background. Through the integration in an interdisciplinary team, your findings will be correlated with data about the optical properties, as well as morphology and defect properties of the perovskites.
