University of Basel ranks among the world’s one hundred best universities and boasts a top-ten place among German-speaking universities.

Project: The Institute for Biomedical Ethics (IBMB) at the University of Basel (http://ibmb.unibas.ch/) is dedicated to research and teaching of biomedical ethics at the Medical and Science Faculties. We are currently looking for a dynamic and independent graduate student (Master's degree) or physician who is interested in carrying out their PhD work in empirical bioethics. The PhD position is part of an exciting research project on the ethical and social implications of new implant device technologies funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of the National Research Program NRP83. The project draws from a health ethics approach to investigate ethical and social aspects related to sex/gender issues in active implantable medical devices such as pacemakers or neurological implants. It has empirical parts (systematic review of reasons, content analysis of public debates in Switzerland and the US, stakeholder interview study, survey) and an ethical analysis part mapping trade-offs and arguments based on the available literature and the empirical findings. The project is practice-oriented and includes rich implementation activities with various stakeholders. The PhD candidate will closely collaborate with a Postdoc working on the project.
