Material Science, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Biology Are you eager to advance the frontiers of regenerative medicine and biofabrication while earning a double doctorate from two leading European universities? Pursuing a PhD that bridges multiple scientific disciplines and countries is an exceptional way to launch a research career with global impact. The FNP FIRST TEAM project offers such an opportunity, focusing on the development of advanced, personalised 3D skin models using cutting-edge technologies. This programme is designed for ambitious candidates who want to address real-world medical challenges and gain international experience in both Poland and the Netherlands. If you aspire to contribute to innovative solutions in tissue engineering, toxicology, and translational science, this double doctorate may be the ideal path for you. Project Details This doctoral programme offers the opportunity to earn two PhD diplomas: one from the Silesian University of Technology (Poland) and one from the University of Groningen (Netherlands). Each successful candidate will spend at least 1.5 years conducting research in Groningen, followed by continued research in Gliwice. The project is embedded within an international, interdisciplinary team and provides significant opportunities for collaboration, teaching, and networking. Research Topic and Significance The main thrust of the project is the creation of personalised 3D skin models that closely mimic the structure and function of natural human skin. This research leverages melt electrowriting (MEW), volumetric bioprinting (VBP), and microfluidic technologies to fabricate functional, vascularised skin constructs. The significance lies in applications for regenerative medicine therapies, toxicology testing, and translational science, with potential to reduce animal testing and accelerate drug discovery. Available PhD Topics Composite scaffolds for skin engineering — Profile: Material science, biomedical engineering, chemistry or related; Focus: Developing and integrating fibrous MEW structures with volumetric bioprinting for three-layered skin constructs. Vascularized microfluidic in vitro skin models — Profile: Physics, material science, biomedical engineering or related; Focus: Designing tubular structures, perfusion systems, and dynamic culture conditions for vascularised skin models. Cell performance in advanced 3D-printed skin models — Profile: Biology, biomedical engineering, medical science or related; Focus: Analysing cellular behaviour in volumetric bioprinted skin models, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and adipocytes. The project is funded for four years, with a monthly scholarship of 7,000 PLN gross (approximately 1,400 EUR net). Additional funding covers the research stay in the Netherlands. Fellows benefit from interdisciplinary training, teaching opportunities, and access to international research networks. Candidate Profile The Ideal Candidates Will Have A Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., material science, biomedical engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, or related). Experience in at least one of: polymer synthesis, materials engineering, microfluidics, tissue engineering, microscopy, or additive manufacturing. Proficiency in English (spoken and written). Demonstrated motivation to work in a collaborative, cross-border research environment. International research experience and publications are an advantage. Candidates should be passionate about interdisciplinary research and committed to advancing regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Application Process To apply, please prepare your application in English and send it as instructed: Application Deadline:
30 September 2025 Start Date:
November 2025 Application Materials To Include: Motivation letter CV with key achievements Copy of diplomas Contact details (email and phone) Names and contact details of at least two referees Subject line: “PhD Fellow – [Your Name]” For further details and to access the official announcement, please visit: https://biofabrication.group/vacancies/ Conclusion This double doctorate fellowship provides a rare opportunity to join an international research team and earn degrees from two distinguished European universities. If you are driven to make a difference in biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine and are excited by working in both Poland and the Netherlands, you are encouraged to apply.
