hela Sverige Skilled and committed employees are a crucial factor in the success of Linköping University. And we need more of them. Our core expertise comes from teachers and researchers, but a successful university requires experienced and motivated employees in many fields. Everyone is important. We need to recruit many new employees thanks to, among all, an expansion in our research activity. We need you here. We look forward to receiving your application!
The Department of Biomedical Engineering is a national centre for education and research in biomedical engineering. Our work is guided by the needs of the healthcare sector and is carried out in close collaboration with hospital clinics and the biomedical industry.
Our aim is to be a catalyst in the biomedical engineering innovation system of the future - an arena for leading international researchers and teachers, where new knowledge is created and disseminated. By integrating biomedical research, healthcare and the business sector, we help improve people's quality of life worldwide. Read more at
https://liu.se/en/organisation/liu/imtWe are looking for a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering Sciences within biomedical optics and systems biology
Your work assignments
The planned research lies in the intersection between biomedical optics and systems biology, where key elements are bio-optical techniques for imaging of the microcirculation and the development of mathematical models that connects tissue metabolism to the microcirculation. You will work independently to analyze data from microcirculatory processes using bio-optical models describing light transport in tissue. You will also develop mechanistic mathematical models that capture the dynamical processes of the microcirculation and utilize computational and statistical tools to analyze large datasets to investigate the relationship between microcirculation and cardiovascular disease, with the goal to develop new risk measures of cardiovascular disease.
As a doctoral student, you devote most of your time to doctoral studies and the research projects of which you are part. Your work may also include teaching or other departmental duties, up to a maximum of 20% of full-time.
Your workplace
You will work at the Department of Biomedical Engineering where we work closely with the industry and healthcare. The Department of Biomedical Engineering carries out research, undergraduate and postgraduate education within biomedical engineering. We are a high performance workplace with colleagues from different parts of the world.
Your qualifications
You have graduated at Master's level within biomedical engineering, applied physics or related area or completed courses with a minimum of 240 credits, at least 60 of which must be in advanced courses. Alternatively, you have gained essentially corresponding knowledge in another way.
You have conducted an independent project (degree project) of at least 30 ECTS at Master's level in the field for the research area.
You should have documented experience within biomedical optics, mathematical modeling of biological systems and statistics, from education or previous positions, as well as an interest in clinical related work. Further, you should also have documented experience in programming in Matlab and/or python.
You should have pedagogical skills and an interest in teaching. Previous teaching experience is meriting for the position.
As a person, you have good ability to work both independently and in groups. The department of Biomedical Engineering is an international environment, you should therefore also have the ability to communicate clearly in both speech and writing, mainly in English.
Terms of employment
When taking up the post, you will be admitted to the program for doctoral studies. More information about the doctoral studies at each faculty is available at Doctoral studies at Linköping University
The employment has a duration of four years' full-time equivalent. You will initially be employed for a period of one year. The employment will subsequently be renewed for periods of maximum duration two years, depending on your progress through the study plan. The employment may be extended up to a maximum of five years, based on the amount of teaching and departmental duties you have carried out. Further extensions can be granted in special circumstances.
Starting date
By agreement.
Salary and employment benefits
The salary of doctoral students is determined according to a locally negotiated salary progression.
More information about employment benefits at Linköping University is available here.
