11. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical computer science and/or combinatorial optimization
Summary of PhD Program:
The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, Gröbner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint programming.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on mechanobiological modeling of tendon tissues
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral student project is focusing on soft musculoskeletal tissues (e.g. tendons) connect or transmit forces during movement in the body. The load-bearing capacity largely comes from the collagen network and an extensive amount of water. The Achilles tendon is the largest and the most injured tendon in the human body. Ruptures often occur during recreational sport activities but can also be a result of ageing. Mechanical loading is a prerequisite for tendon healing. Healing of tendon ruptures could be improved by elucidating how loading affects the mechanobiological aspects of tendon healing.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Energy Sciences with a focus on hydrogen combustion engines
Summary of PhD Program:
Hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines are an important component of the green transition and are seen as one of the primary options for sustainable transport alongside electrification. This project focuses on hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, which have the potential to combine energy efficiency and climate neutrality with zero CO2 emissions. In addition to reducing the future heavy demand for batteries in the transport sector, these engines could become particularly important for achieving climate goals in long-distance, heavy-duty transport, which is difficult to electrify.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Oncology
Summary of PhD Program:
We subscribe to the view that a tumour should be considered as a communicating organ in its own right, comprising multiple cell types that collectively evolve into a clinically manifested and deadly disease. Our overarching aim is to functionally define the cellular elements of a tumour. In the current project, microniches orchestrated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) will be divulged and interrogated for function during metastatic dissemination. By a refinement of current state-of-the-art technologies, our studies enable inferences about molecular interactions between specialised cell types in confined cellular niches.
