PhD Scholarship for Multidisciplinary Cancer Research at University of Ghent

The field of mechano-biology in cancer, which relates the biophysical and mechanical properties of human cancer tissue to its behavior and treatment response, is expanding rapidly. We are looking for a motivated PhD student for a multidisciplinary project in this field, funded by FWO-flanders and the Belgian Foundation against Cancer.

The project is supervised jointly by the departments of Human Structure and Repair (prof Ceelen) and the department of Biomedical Engineering (prof Debbaut and prof Segers). In addition, close collaboration is foreseen with the INFINITY imaging lab (prof Van Hove), Experimental Cancer Research lab (prof De Wever), and the clinical departments of Ghent University Hospital. We offer an innovative project in a highly interdisciplinary research environment and within a young and dynamic team. The position is open immediately.

For more information and to apply, send your motivation letter, scientific CV, and references to prof Wim Ceelen by email (wim.ceelen@ugent.be).
