Interdisciplinary postdoctoral positions for organoid engineering

The positions are funded by the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung (CZS) and are embedded in the new collaborative research program on “Precision Organoid Engineering for Multi-Organ Interaction Studies (POEM)”: https://www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/cctp-poem

The POEM program aims to generate reproducible, micrometer-scale controllable and cost-efficient disease models by bringing together experts in molecular systems engineering, machine learning, biomedicine and disease modeling. Central to its objectives is the development of methods for culturing tailor-made organoids, assembloids and co-organoids for inter-organ communication towards AI-supported large-scale / high-throughput analyses.

Two specific openings associated with the lab:

• Development of microfluidic cell assemblies in conjunction with ultrasound biofabrication (Melde)

• Development of microfluidic- and robotically-assisted organoid culturing platform; experience with automation, control and fluidics is helpful (Fischer)
