The Tissue Engineering and Biofabrication Laboratory at ETH Zurich develops light-based 3D bioprinting techniques to engineer functional tissues with multi-scale porosity and topological guidance. Embedded within the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST) and the Institute for Biomechanics, the group bridges biomedical engineering, materials science and biology. The position focuses on designing and building light-delivery systems to control hydrogel architecture.
Tasks
- Design, simulate, and build custom optical setups and beam-shaping trains
- Characterize how structured light fields interact with photosensitive polymers
- Collaborate within an interdisciplinary team of bioengineers, chemists, and biologists to translate photonic concepts into engineered scaffolds for regenerative medicine
Requirements
- PhD in Optical Engineering, Photonics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering (optics emphasis), or a related discipline
- Hands-on experience with laser beam shaping, phase modulation
- Software development for optical modeling and numerical analysis (Python, MATLAB, or equivalent)
- Strong academic output relative to career stage, evidenced by high-quality publications or working papers
- Interest in translating optical physics towards products useful in tissue engineering
- Strong motivation to collaborate with interdisciplinary scientists
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Experience in one or more of the following areas is advantageous: Multi-photon polymerization for optical devices, Meta-lens/meta-surfaces, Adaptable optics, Non-diffractive beam design
Benefits
- Professional development support at ETH Zurich
- Public transport season tickets and car sharing
- Wide range of sports offered by the ASVZ
- Childcare
- Attractive pension benefits
- Inclusive culture with equality of opportunity and respect for rights and dignity
- Commitment to diversity and sustainability
- Working towards a climate-neutral future
