UCL Department of Neuroinflammation Seminar by Professor Emad Moeendarbary (Professor of Cell Mechanics and Mechanobiology, UCL Mechanical Engineering) on how biophysical factors such as substrate stiffness and axon geometry regulate oligodendrocyte behavior and myelin formation, presenting the AxoMetic in vitro myelination platform for discovery of remyelinating therapies.

EMBL's ARISE2 programme offers more than 20 fully funded, three-year postdoctoral fellowships for scientists developing research-infrastructure technologies across the life sciences, including genomics, structural biology, imaging, cell and tissue research, environmental research, translation, and data science or artificial intelligence.

NSF support for new engineering investigators at eligible non-R1 institutions to initiate research programs, build capacity and advance their careers.

Develop new approaches and hardware to shape and control ultrasound for biomedical applications in Peer Fischer’s group. The project investigates fundamental effects and dynamic ultrasound-field projection. Work begins in Heidelberg, with activity expected to move to the institute’s new Heilbronn site when it opens. This vacancy belongs to the September 2026 Max Planck Postdoc Program call, which accepts applications until 13 October 2026 at 12:00 CEST through the official application platform.

Develop an AI-assisted digital platform for stroke rehabilitation at the Singapore-ETH Centre. The project combines a mobile app and conversational agent with a soft robotic hand orthosis, supporting rehabilitation adherence at home. Work includes gathering patient and clinician requirements, building and validating the app, integrating rehabilitation hardware, and evaluating the intervention in a six-week clinical study with NTU and Tan Tock Seng Hospital. This is a full-time, fixed-term PhD position. The current vacancy accepts online applications without a stated closing date; submit a cover letter, CV with two references, and university transcripts. The employer offers up to two days of home working per week.

Develop medical materials that control biological responses, including healing, immune regulation, stem-cell differentiation or timed drug delivery. Several permanent research positions are available in the Research Center for Macromolecules and Biomaterials. The expected start is 1 April 2027, negotiable. Applications are reviewed as received and accepted while this vacancy remains on the official NIMS website.
