A fully funded PhD position is available at Queen Mary University of London in the field of soft robotics for medical applications, as part of the ERC Synergy project EndoTheranostics. The research focuses on developing a next-generation soft robotic eversion colonoscope for minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy, aiming to revolutionize colorectal cancer screening and treatment. The successful candidate will work on the development of an eversion robot capable of addressing the challenges of colonoscopy, including real-time polyp detection, tissue characterization, and autonomous polyp excision.

The project is highly interdisciplinary, combining robotics, medical devices, and materials science, and offers the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in the field. Applicants must be UK nationals or residents and hold at least an MSc (or exceptional BEng) in Engineering or a related field. Preferred backgrounds include control, materials, manufacturing, CAD, electronics, computational modeling, and bioengineering.

The position is fully funded for eligible applicants. For more information, visit the project page and apply via the provided link.
