Application Deadline: September 3rd, 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plant Molecular Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to advance our understanding of the growth coordination within plant cells and tissues that result in diverse plant morphologies observed in various environments. You will contribute to unraveling the genetic factors governing the properties of the cell wall, particularly its ability to withstand turgor pressure and facilitate growth, leading to a range of plant shapes. You will be engaged in genetic modifications at the cellular and tissue level, altering cell shape and cell wall characteristics to further elucidate the processes underlying coordinated cellular growth across disparate tissues. The project will also involve the time-lapse confocal microscopy, image processing, and mechanical measurements.
Application Deadline: 31.08.2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Political Theory
Summary of PhD Program:

Application Deadline: 24th September 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Genetics
Summary of PhD Program:
The Center for Integrative Genomics of the University of Lausanne invites applications for a PhD student position in the group of Aleksandar Vještica to work in the area of sexual lifecycle in fungi, with a focus on mechanism of gamete-to-zygote transition in fission yeast. Fertilization between two haploid gametes triggers fission yeast to rapidly switch fate and acquire zygotic identity. Failure in this early developmental step, or its mere delay, leads to refertilization and consequently, formation of progeny with aberrant ploidy. Since ploidy alterations increase fitness under certain conditions in both non-pathogenic and pathogenic fungi, understanding fungal blocks to re-fertilization, holds relevance not only for developmental but also evolutionary and medical biology. The Vjestica lab is funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant), Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF Eccellenza Grant) and University of Lausanne.
Application Deadline: 15.09.2023
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in biology & Nutrition
Summary of PhD Program:
The Habib lab utilises tissue engineering to investigate aspects of embryogenesis and adult tissue formation. They use this knowledge to develop technologies that will promote tissue repair upon injury. For example, recently, using this approach they developed novel bandages that can promote bone repair in vivo. These technologies resulted in a patent, 107 news articles and a televised coverage in CBS-news.
