  • Ability to think creatively and independently
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills in English
Personal skills
The applicant must have a creative and committed personality, good organizational skills, the ability to work autonomously, but willing to perform and interact efficiently within a multidisciplinary team.
What we offer

  • A workplace in Bern, Switzerland's capital, known for its high quality of life and surrounded by beautiful nature, perfect for hiking, biking, swimming and winter sports.
  • The successful candidate will be enrolled in the Graduate School for Biomedical Engineering of the University of Bern (Medical Faculty).
How to apply
Send us a cover letter (Skip the formal cover letter and tell us: Why do you want to work with us? What excites you about our mission? Why microfluidics?), your CV and the contact details of two references and two letters of recommendation) in a single pdf document with the mention “OOC Ph D position” in the subject line to
