PhD Studentship in Biomaterials and Biomechanics: Sustainable Coating Strategies for Titanium Dental Implants

The University of Manchester's Biomaterials and Biomechanics Group is offering a fully funded PhD studentship focused on 'Sustainable Coating Strategies for Titanium Dental Implant Success.' This project is part of the International Partnerships PhD Studentship Program, which enables postgraduate researchers to undertake a PhD at Manchester and collaborate with international partner institutions, including the University of Bonn in Germany. The research will be supervised by Prof. Nick Silikas, Dr. Marcia Borba, and Dr. Lamia Singer, and will explore innovative, sustainable approaches to improving the performance and longevity of titanium dental implants. The program is highly competitive and open to both UK and international applicants with a strong academic background in a relevant field. The studentship covers a four-year period, providing a stipend at the UKRI rate, full tuition fees, a generous research training support grant, and travel funding for research activities. Applicants are expected to have at least an Upper Second class UK honours degree or equivalent, with many successful candidates also holding a Master's degree. English language proficiency is required for international applicants. The application process involves contacting the project supervisors, preparing a comprehensive set of supporting documents, and submitting an online application before the deadline of December 6, 2025. The successful candidate will benefit from world-class research facilities, international collaboration, and the opportunity to gain a global perspective in biomaterials, biomechanics, and dental implantology.
