PhD student (w/m/d) (E13 TV-L, 75%)

Heidelberg University|Institute of Psychology

Prof. Dr. Bastian Schiller

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 Jan 2025

Applications are invited for a

PhD student (w/m/d) (E13 TV-L, 75%)

starting April 1st, 2025,at the Laboratory of Clinical Neuropsychology (Prof. Dr. Bastian Schiller), Institute of Psychology, University of Heidelberg. This position is initially limited to December 2027, with the possibility of an extension for an additional year.

This position is part of a larger project funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant “Social animals interacting in a digital world“, funding period: 2023-2028). Together with a team of researchers, the candidate will (1) investigate the psychobiological differences between social interaction in digital environments and face-to-face social interaction, and (2) explore new ways for "socially enriching" digital interaction environments (e.g., by enabling physical contact and direct eye contact, and by presenting human odors). This topic will be addressed through a multi-method research approach, combining experimental-psychological and game-theoretic paradigms with neuroscientific methods (e.g. application of chemosensory cues using olfactometry, electroencephalography, dual eye- tracking, peripheral physiology, hormone administration and measurement).

At the Laboratory of Clinical Neuropsychology, we further investigate the psychological and biological bases of social interactions. Another research focus is the study of social interaction difficulties, for example in autistic individuals. There are also plans to establish an outpatient clinic and research unit for the treatment of social interaction difficulties.

Your Tasks:

• Planning, conducting, evaluating, and publishing the described research in international journals, as well as presenting findings at scientific congresses
• Co-supervising student theses and guiding student assistants and interns
• Participating in university self-administration activities
• Delivering courses within the department's B.Sc. and M.Sc. Psychology programs

Your Profile:

• Enthusiasm for research on the psychobiological effects of the digital transformation on social interaction, as well as the laboratory’s additional research focuses
• Ideally, methodological expertise in relevant neuroscientific techniques (e.g., olfactometry, hormone application) and prior experience with experimental research questions (e.g., as part of a bachelor or master thesis)
• Strong team orientation and high social competence
• Good statistical knowledge and ideally first programming experiences

We offer:

• Innovative, interdisciplinary research
• Support for academic qualification, offering excellent opportunities to gain expertise in neuroscientific techniques and experimental research
• A dedicated, young, and dynamic team
• A family friendly working environment
• Assistance with starting or continuing psychotherapeutic training (preferably in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Clinical Neuropsychology)

We look forward to receiving your application. Please send it along with the usual documents (a letter of motivation detailing your research interests, a CV, relevant certificates and qualifications, and references) by January 31, 2025. Submit your application electronically in a single PDF, referencing “ERCPhD_KlinNeuro” to:applicationERC@psychologie.uni-heidelberg.de

APPLICATION DEADLINE:27 Jan 2025

Employment start: 4 Jan 2025

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen is looking for a PhD candidate to join the Little group starting 1 April 2025 or upon agreement. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team involved in the engineering of human stem cell-derived kidney tissue.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine, reNEW

reNEW is an international consortium of three leading research institutions; the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and Leiden University Medical Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. The Mission of reNEW is to bring together research excellence to harness the therapeutic potential in stem cell medicine. For this, researchers within reNEW address fundamental questions in stem cell and developmental biology and aim to translate research findings to products that will help patients with incurable disorders such as congenital kidney disorders, chronic ulcerative disorders, neurological disorders, and diabetes.

Information on the department can be found at:https://renew.ku.dk

Our research

In the group of Professor Melissa Little, we use our underlying knowledge of normal kidney development to direct the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to kidney organoids. These stem cell-derived tissues are used to better understand human development, model genetics forms of kidney disease and evaluate options for the treatment of end stage renal disease.

Job description

We are seeking an enthusiastic and outstanding PhD candidate with a background in bioengineering, expertise in pluripotent stem cell culture and experience in cellular bioprinting.

Key activities include:

• Developing novel biomaterials
• Optimising cellular bioprinting
• Differentiating pluripotent stem cells to human urogenital tissues
• Engineering models of the developing urinary tract

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Engineering
• Previous experience with cellular bioprinting of kidney cells
• Previous experience with human pluripotent stem cell culture
• Experience with novel biomaterial generation
• A solution-oriented, organizational and positive mindset is required.
• The ability to work in a highly collaborative international environment both independently and as part of the team is essential.
• Fluency in English is essential.

We offer

• A stimulating, challenging and multifaceted research environment.
