PhD Studentship: Engineering Ceramic Powder Feedstocks for Additive Manufacturing of Components for Extreme Environments University of Exeter in United Kingdom

[Studentship provides funding of fees plus a stipend per annum for 2026/7; funding amount listed as £21,805.] The University of Exeter is offering a PhD studentship in 3D Printing Mechanically Adaptive Regenerative Interfaces for Improved Bone Screw Fixation at the Penryn Campus. This project addresses an important clinical challenge in spinal surgery: screw loosening and pull-out, especially in patients with poor bone quality such as osteoporosis. These complications can undermine pedicle screw...

[PhD studentship funded by BBSRC through the Midlands Integrated Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP), in partnership with the University of Warwick, University of Birmingham, Aston University, Harper Adams University, Coventry University, and the University of Leicester.] This PhD studentship at the University of Birmingham explores how shock-induced tissue injury can be understood and prevented using dynamic nanofluidics. The project sits at the interface of mechanobiology, biomaterials, a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham School of Chemical Engineering within the MIBTP Programme . The project, Dynamic extracellular matrix mimetics for transformative mechanobiological and metabolic discovery across soft tissues , focuses on developing a new class of extracellular matrix surrogates based on fluid-gel (FG) microstructures . These materials are designed to better mimic native soft tissues, which are viscoelastic, stress-responsive, and dynamic during injury and disease....

Tu/e is offering a PhD position on bioreactor-based preservation of human heart valves within the Department of Biomedical Engineering. The project sits in the Soft Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology (STEM) group and is closely connected to the work of Assistant Professor Marijn Peters , Professor Carlijn Bouten , and Assistant Professor Marcel Rutten , alongside collaborators in mechanical engineering and cardiovascular biomechanics. The research goal is to develop and improve a model that c...
