Eindhoven University of Technology has the following vacancy: PhD in Mechanomagnetic recovery of Tendinopath V50.4155 at the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Eindhoven University of Technology is recruiting an ambitious PhD candidate who will explore a solution therapy for fibrotic scarring of tendon and ligament by developing and exploiting a biomaterial tool: SPmRs (Super-Paramagnetic-iron-oxide-nanoparticles-containing m-Rods), e.g. injectable magnetic micro-rods that can adhere to cells and subsequently enforce cell polarity, directionality, and functional remodelling capacity in 3D fibrous tissue. The successful candidate is excited about lab work; she/he is passionate about tendon mechanobiology and fibrous tissue remodeling. The research performed by the candidate is an essential link between biomaterial engineering and clinical application of biomaterials in regenerative medicine, which is the focus of the cluster Regenerative Engineering and Biomaterials.

Biomedical Engineering
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) offers a research-driven BME Bachelor program and Masters in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Engineering in its Graduate Program. Its research areas range from Molecular Bioengineering and Imaging, Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering to Biomedical Imaging and Modelling. The department has more than 800 students and up to 200 tenured and non-tenured employees.
Job description
The candidate will engineer nano-magnetic particle of desired dimensions, aspect ratio, and properties; control tissue matrix organization by polarizing and orienting cells using mechanomagnetism; boost the cellular functional remodelling capacity using these particles as mechanical trainers; show the feasibility of restoring an artificially induced lost anisotropy in ex vivo equine tendon, using these particles. The PhD candidate is expected to do scientific research in the field described above, write a doctoral thesis, and publish research results in scientific journals. An educational and professional development program is offered to all PhD candidates. You will also be involved in teaching courses offered by the group, as well as contribute to the supervision of bachelor and master students.
We are accepting applications from enthusiastic and highly talented candidates who are interested in a dynamic, stimulating, and ambitious environment to perform their research. We are looking for candidates that meet the following requirements:
