Postdoctoral Researcher in Mechatronics and Robotics

The Biomaterials Engineering research group at the Institute for Biomechanics (IfB), D-HEST, ETH Zurich, develops biomaterials and advanced biomanufacturing systems for in vitro disease modeling. Our group integrates mechanical design, materials science, and bioengineering to build functional 3D organoid systems and reduce reliance on the use of animal models. We are currently seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of a fully automated bioprinting platform, with a focus on hardware design, embedded systems, and real-time feedback integration for closed-loop control. This position is embedded within a multidisciplinary research team at ETH Zurich and offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering and biomedical science.

• Your career with impact: Become part of ETH Zurich, which not only supports your professional development but also actively contributes to positive change in society
• Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure such as bioprinters
• Collaboration opportunities with experts in mechanical engineering, tissue engineering, and the biomedical field
• You can expect numerous benefits, such as public transport season tickets and car sharing, a wide range of sports offered by the ASVZ, childcare, and attractive pension benefits

Working in a top-level research environment with advanced laboratory infrastructure, the candidate will have a unique opportunity to develop their research abilities. We highly value integrity, teamwork, openness, scientific curiosity, diversity, and empathy.
