Research Opportunity

We are seeking an ambitious and highly motivated individual for a PhD position in Metabolic Health of Women at the Department of Diabetes, Endocrinology, Nutritional Medicine and Metabolism (UDEM) of the University of Bern and University Hospital Bern.

The research group of Metabolic Physiology explores physiologic mechanisms underlying human metabolism and applies this knowledge to the prevention and treatment of diabetes, obesity and other endocrine and nutritional disorders.

Project Overview

The PhD focus will be on addressing knowledge gaps in women's health and physiology, particularly the role of changes in sex hormones on metabolism in the context of diabetes, menopause and GLP-1 signaling.

The project involves an interdisciplinary approach combining clinical with pre-clinical research, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and digital innovation grants.

Your Role

As a PhD candidate, you will engage in a mechanistic trial adopting multi-dimensional metabolic profiling and apply novel analytical approaches to experimental and clinical data.

You will acquire a variety of methodological and transferable skills through interdisciplinary training and have the opportunity to present your work at international conferences, publish peer-reviewed manuscripts and contribute to outreach activities.

Requirements
  • A master's degree in life sciences, biomedical sciences, bioengineering, health and technology, biology, pharmacy, medicine, or a related field.
  • Strong analytical skills including critical thinking, problem-solving and data literacy.
  • Ability to learn and adapt quickly.
  • Expertise/experience in biostatistics, mathematical modelling of physiological systems, human physiology and proficiency in R, Python or Matlab is an advantage.
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken. Good German skills are a plus.
We Offer
  • Excellent scientific and clinical expertise in a stimulating environment.
  • A friendly, international and multidisciplinary environment.
  • A fully funded PhD position, with compensation aligned with SNSF standards.

For subject-specific questions and information about the position, please contact Prof. Dr. Dr. Lia Bally or Dr. David Herzig.
