2. 03 Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The chair of Lorenza Mondada, at the Department of Languages and Literatures of the University of Basel, opens three positions for PhD candidates to be integrated as scientific assistants (100%) in a research project sponsored by the SNF. The positions start at the beginning of 2025 (1.4.2025 at latest) and are for 4 years. Rooted in multimodal Conversation Analysis, the project involves intensive fieldwork, video recordings in diverse settings and the constitution of data sets for a multimodal and multisensorial analysis contributing to the understanding of the organization of human interaction. The project pays special attention to embodied interactions in their ecology, to the specificity of the material environment and their consequentialities for the organization of social interaction.
Application Deadline: December 1st, 2024
3. 02 Fully Funded PhD in Literary Studies
Summary of Funded PhD Program

6. Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The IOB PhD and MD-PhD Program on Translational Visual Neurosciences offers a unique opportunity to make breakthrough discoveries in the function or dysfunction of the eye and the visual brain, as well as to develop radically new therapies for eye diseases. These therapies are urgently needed, since the prevalence of visual diseases is rising globally, and effective therapies are lacking for most of them.

8. Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Our team aims to experimentally achieve directional spin wave propagation using magnetic multilayers composed of cobalt, platinum, and yttrium iron garnet. Recent simulations indicate that this combination of materials can efficiently realize directional spin wave propagation. Within the scope of the PhD, the student will be guided in developing the expertise in preparing suitable sample and to characterize them with standard laboratory methods (sputtering, magnetization measurements, magnetic force microscopy) and more advanced imaging methods such as nitrogen vacancy spectroscopy and X-ray microscopy.
Application Deadline: 31 December 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD in exercise physiology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
A doctoral position is to be filled at the Department of Sport, Exercise and Health (DSBG) of the University of Basel in the research group for movement and training science from April 1, 2025 or by agreement. The post holder will be involved in the implementation of the frAGILE study funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This study examines the effects of an immobilization phase followed by re-training depending on age and gender. Modern measurement methods are used to investigate the underlying mechanisms that explain possible differences between age groups and genders.

12. Fully Funded PhD in bacterial immunity against phage infection
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Our research group is generally interested in the interaction and co-evolution between bacteria and a family of big bacterial viruses, called jumbophages. We are particularly interested in how bacteria use immune systems to antagonize phage infection and how phages evade such immune systems. In the proposed project, we will use genetics, biochemistry, and structural biology approaches to understand the mechanism of bacterial immune systems and to investigate phage factors that antagonize bacterial immune functions. We are looking for a motivated and curious student to join our growing team.
