3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Managing the Recruitment Crisis
Summary of PhD Program:
Are you passionate about improving HR management in healthcare? Do you enjoy engaging in research and want to become part of an international research community? Are you interested in how the healthcare sector can successfully manage the recruitment crises in the field of nursing and international healthcare professionals? If you answered these questions with “yes”, then this job is for you!
At the KPM Center for Public Management of the University of Bern, we have an exciting opening for a doctoral position. The position is part of an international project dealing with the recruitment crisis in the healthcare sector, which is led by the King Frederik Center for Public Leadership at Arhus University/Denmark. In this project the KPM of the University of Bern collaborates with an international network of researchers on the topical area of recruitment, selection, and retention of international workforce.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Space Science
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project will focus on modeling the complete gas phase of Europa’s plumes, a critical component in determining the habitability of this ocean world in the Jupiter system. The project involves developing a physical simulation model to quantify changes in the chemical composition of Europa’s plumes from their liquid reservoirs to their gas phase. The successful candidate will work with existing Monte Carlo models and newly acquired DSMC models, aiming to provide valuable insights for ESA’s JUICE and NASA’s Europa Clipper missions. This research is poised to significantly enhance our understanding of Europa’s potential to support life and will be an integral part of the science preparation for the measurements conducted by the mass spectrometers on the JUICE mission (JUICE / NIM) and the Europa Clipper mission (Europa Clipper / MASPEX).
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
A PhD position is available in the Technology-Enabled Precision Medicine for Metabolic Disorders (PrecisionLab) group led by Prof. Jose Garcia-Tirado and co-supervised by Prof. Lia Bally (Metabolic Physiology Lab) at the Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology, Nutritional Medicine, and Metabolism (UDEM), University Hospital Bern and University of Bern. We seek an enthusiastic candidate who will contribute to digital twin technologies to simulate/predict physiologic variables and generate actionable advice to promote cardiometabolic health in women across the life course.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The main goal of the funded project “Accompanying research for curriculum development at the Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich” is to scientifically examine questions surrounding the goals and effects of current curriculum reforms. Multifactorial studies will be used to examine various key parameters (e.g. satisfaction, knowledge and skills) of medical students before and after the study reform. A longitudinal study is also planned in this context. As part of the research cooperation, evidence-based quality assurance and maintenance of the curricula will be tested and established.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Climate Sciences: Next-generation vegetation modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will tackle one of the major sources for uncertainty in climate and Earth system projections reliable predictions of how water and nutrients govern vegetation, carbon and water cycling, and their responses to a changing climate and CO2. The aim is to integrate eco-evolutionary optimality theory and observational constraints into a dynamic model for simulating global land ecosystem functioning and structure.
Application Deadline: 15 July 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in focusing on Metabolic Physiology in Women’s Health
Summary of PhD Program:
The candidate will engage in a mechanistic trial adopting multi-dimensional metabolic profiling and apply novel analytical approaches to experimental and clinical data. Acquiring a variety of methodological and transferable skills through interdisciplinary training, the student will have the opportunity to present her/his work at international conferences, publish peer reviewed manuscripts and contribute to outreach activities, including exchanges with target populations. The candidate will be supervised by Prof Lia Bally and Dr David Herzig, and be part of an interdisciplinary and international research team working on the topic of Metabolic Health of Women, consisting of clinical experts, statisticians, data scientists, biomedical engineers, basic researchers and bioanalytical chemists.
Application Deadline: 30 August 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Psychology / Neuroscience
Summary of PhD Program:
The working group led by Prof. Dr. Jessica Peter (University Clinic for Geriatric Psychiatry and Psychotherapy) is researching how memory processes change in old age or in the case of illness and which interventions are suitable to counteract this. The research group uses modern and innovative methods of cognitive neuroscience (e.g. 7T imaging, non-invasive brain stimulation). In the current project, non-invasive brain stimulation is used in younger and older people with depression to change the interpretation bias.
Application Deadline: 1 July 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Tissue Engineering using Silk for Intervertebral Disc Repair
Summary of PhD Program:
Lcow back pain (LBP) is a severe pathology which affects about 80% of Western societies. The LBP is often associated with degenerated intervertebral discs (IVD) of the spine. Currently, no ideal solutions are available to restore a degenerated disc and its functions. The selected candidate will be integrated into an internationally competitive research environment, combining experimental and theoretical methods to test original scientific hypotheses and to develop innovative implant technology to “rescue” or repair the degenerated intervertebral disc. She/he will work on a cross-disciplinary research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF).
Application Deadline: August 30, 2024

11. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Behavioural Ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
While the ecological and evolutionary significance of behavioural plasticity is well recognized, we still know little about the physiological processes that facilitate flexibly switching between several, potentially conflicting behaviours – such as aggression and parental care. In this project, we will investigate how cognitive, hormonal, and neuronal mechanisms act together in flexibly balancing contrasting behavioural decisions. We hypothesise that trade-offs between aggressive and parental behaviours also manifest on a physiological level, and that short-term changes in steroid release and/or sensitivity may provide animals with a mechanism for adapting their behavioural responses to rapidly changing contexts.
