PhD Position - C++ Software Engineering of a 3D Cell-Based Tissue Simulation Framework

The Computational Biology (CoBi) group, led by Prof. Dagmar Iber, develops data-driven, mechanistic models of biological systems using advanced imaging and computational tools. Our group combines biology, engineering, and computational science to understand how cells organize into complex tissues. Located in Basel, the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) provides a vibrant research environment at the interface of biology, engineering, and medicine, and is surrounded by leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies.ETH Zurich is a world-leading university dedicated to advancing science and technology.
