If you’re a Masters degree holder and seeking Fully Funded PhD Programs, University of Bern, Switzerland has several online applications open for PhD programs. Explore the PhD opportunities across diverse research areas and submit your application soon.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
You will synthesize a variety of large -conjugates with tailored functional groups for self-assembled nanostructures on surfaces and/or for studying in-depth photo-induced electron and energy transfer as well as their applications in (opto)electronic devices. Certainly, organic synthesis is a crucial tool for fine-tuning the electronic properties of such -conjugated systems, leading to novel self-assembled nanostructures. The project involves fundamental studies of molecules designed with unique electronic properties, developing methods to grow molecular structures where spin states can be manipulated electrically, and using on-surface reactions for 2D covalent networks.
Application Deadline: August 31, 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Heat Extremes and Health
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of the PhD project is to provide and analyse a number of health-relevant heat indicators at high spatial resolution for Europe for the past, present and future that can then be combined with other geospatial information as well as with other hazards (e.g., air pollution) to address compound risks. The analysis will also address climatic drivers in combination with a large ensemble of climate model simulations. In addition, the project will zoom in to the city level for four case study sites (Naples, Lyon, Bern, Oslo) and address urban heat island effects.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Signal processing data analyst position in Neurology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Center for Experimental Neurology (ZEN) is a unique translational research center in the Department of Neurology at the Inselspital University Hospital Bern, Switzerland. The ZEN fosters strong collaborations between clinical and experimental laboratories with long-standing expertise in sleep, epilepsy and stroke. To further strengthen our group, we are seeking for a motivated candidate to be part of our translational research program. Our research goal aims to develop translational solution (software, etc.) to identify novel sleep biomarkers and new insomnia drugs.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cardiovascular Research
Summary of PhD Program:
ACTT will investigate the early molecular and cellular processes that contribute to the phenotype of the genetic disorder Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM), aiming to unveil novel protective and regenerative pathways.
You will investigate various ACM model systems (mouse disease models, patient samples, in vitro and ex vivo cardiac equivalents) applying cutting-edge imaging and sequencing techniques to:
(1) assess the early drivers of the disease with high resolution spatio-temporal transcriptomics
(2) analyze the role and relevance of different cardiac myocyte subtypes
(3) explore the therapeutic potential of selected compounds targeting disease modifiers

6. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims at 1) characterizing the landscape of multiple diagnosis in patients with rare disorders and 2) investigating functional interactions between concurrently mutated genes to better understand underlying pathomechanisms for individual diseases as well as for oligogenicity and genetic modifiers. The experimental spectrum of the PhD projects will include classic molecular and genetic methods as well as in vivo and in vitro model systems such as Drosophila melanogaster and iPSC-derived and other cell-based systems
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Psychology / Neuroscience
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of the doctorate is to provide scientific support for the weekly memory training of the memory clinic, to collect qualitative and quantitative data, e.g. on cognition, motivation and self-efficacy, and to test digital health interventions (DHI). The working group of Prof. Dr. Stefan Klöppel (Director of the University Clinic for Geriatric Psychiatry and Psychotherapy) is researching how non-drug therapies can improve memory performance in normal aging and in the early stages of dementia.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Childhood Cancer Epidemiology
Summary of PhD Program:
Childhood cancer is a rare disease that affects approximately 1 in 350 children per year. Currently more than 85% of children with cancer can be cured. Yet we know little about long-term trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as survivors age, their life circumstances change, and health problems become more common. In your PhD project you will investigate changes in HRQOL and explore the drivers of unfavorable HRQOL trajectories that involve specific health problems and behaviors. It will be embedded in the nation-wide Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (SCCSS).
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Logic
Summary of PhD Program:
We will develop axiomatic systems for ECK and investigate its meta-logical properties, such as compactness, finite model property, etc. We will then study the relationship between task solvability and the properties of the corresponding form of ECK. In particular, we will establish the precise connection of ECK and the Firing Rebels with Relay problem, which is a particularly interesting case in distributed computing.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in developmental psychopathology
Summary of PhD Program:
As part of a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), we are investigating the interaction of biological, social and psychological factors in the development of mental illnesses in adolescence. One focus is on symptoms in the area of emotional dysregulation and risky and self-harming behavior. We are looking for a doctoral student with a high level of motivation to help with data collection and to carry out statistical analyses of complex data (e.g. longitudinal data). The position will provide opportunities for appropriate further training (e.g. to conduct diagnostic interviews and to apply specific statistical procedures). We work closely together as a team and are interdisciplinary and internationally networked.
