Applicants are invited to apply for a PhD scholarship in computer science at ETH Zurich. The funds for this fellowship are available for 3 years. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible.

The focus of this research sub-project is the optimal design of implants, with the following objectives: (1) Implementation of semi-automated topology optimisation in a public-domain, voxel-based finite element solver (ParFE), including the specific pre- and post-yield properties of silicon nitride materials. (2) Application of topology optimisation to develop novel forms of intervertebral fusion implants, targeting maximum implant porosity, homogeneous loading of the host bone and accelerated cell proliferation rate.
You are required to have a master’s degree in biomedical engineering, computer science or a related relevant field. You are expected to have demonstrated experience with computer aided design, finite element analysis, computer programming and a strong background knowledge of continuum mechanics. Experience with large-scale simulation and/or distributed computing on GPUs would be advantageous.
Eligibility is set by the regulations of the MSCA ITN framework. Researchers can be of any nationality. They are required to undertake physical, transnational mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when taking up their appointment. Therefore, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Switzerland for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date.
