Two PhD graduate student positions in
translational cardiology / electrophysiology
100%

Department of Physiology 01.06.2025 or by agreement 4 years

We are seeking two motivated PhD candidates for our experimental projects on novel precision mechanism-based electrophysiological therapies. With this project, we aim to gain insights into potential QT-normalizing and anti-arrhythmic effects of various peptide molecules known to activate repolarizing ion currents. The ultimate goal is to develop novel mechanisms- based,
genotype-specific therapeutic options for the genetic channelopathy long QT syndrome.

• is in the possession of an animal welfare certificate
• possesses at least basic knowledge in electrophysiological methods, optical techniques and molecular methods

• Challenging and diverse work in a motivated and dynamic team
• High degree of independence
• Use of the university sports facilities
• Attractive workplace close to Bern train station
