PhD/MD-PhD Position in Vascular Biology and Dietary Interventions

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD or MD-PhD candidate to join our Translational Research Laboratory in the Department of Vascular Surgery at CHUV, a leading research hospital in Switzerland.

Contexte

The successful candidate will actively contribute to groundbreaking research examining the intricate relationship between circadian rhythms and post-operative inflammation. This project aims to unravel how the timing of biological processes influences surgical outcomes, paving the way for innovative, time-aligned interventions to enhance recovery. The project relies on advanced mouse models of vascular microsurgery combined with state-of-the-art “OMICs” approaches to explore inflammatory dynamics across circadian phases and investigate the regulatory role of circadian clock genes in modulating the immune response. The project also incorporates preoperative nutritional strategies inspired by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in human medicine to optimize surgical care and patient recovery.

Mission

• Design and perform experiments in mouse models of microsurgery, molecular analyses and in vitro cell culture systems

• Analyze data, write scientific publications, and present findings at international conferences

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and surgeons, including experts in physiology and chronobiology.

Profil

• Master’s degree in Biology, Medicine, Physiology, or a related field

• Strong background in vascular diseases and biology, or metabolism is an advantage

• Hands-on experience with animal models and surgical techniques is highly desirable

• Previous experience in omics data analyses and R coding is a plus

• Excellent communication skills and proficiency in English.

Nous offrons

• A stimulating and collaborative research environment in a world-class hospital and academic setting

• Access to cutting-edge facilities and resources for translational research

• Opportunity to work on impactful research with direct clinical relevance

• Opportunities to present your work at international conferences

• Support for career development through training, mentoring, and conference participation.
