PhD Studentship: Understanding and preventing shock-induced tissue injury using dynamic nanofluidics University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

[Funded studentship providing fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter focused on developing bioresorbable, regenerative scaffolds and additive manufacturing strategies for engineering the screw–bone interface. The project addresses a major clinical challenge in spinal surgery: screw loosening and pull-out, especially in patients with poor bone quality. Rather than relying only on conventional fixation devices, the research aims to create ...

[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...

Two PhD positions are advertised in multiscale bone mineralisation , with one position focused on modelling in Germany and the other on experiments in France.

Partner institutions named in the post include TH Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm , FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg , and Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) . Eligible applicants should hold an MSc in biomedical engineering, m...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in bioresorbable intestinal devices with embedded resorbable sensors for gastrointestinal monitoring . This project sits at the intersection of Biomedical Engineering , Electrical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering , and Materials Science . The research aims to create an orally delivered, bioresorbable retentive structure that combines flexible printed circuitry with custom microfabricated bioresorbable sensors, then test the device in a simulate...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Glasgow in Biomedical Engineering , Rheology , Biophysics , and Mechanobiology . The project asks whether the mechanics of tissues can reveal disease by measuring how biological tissues deform, flow, and relax. The research builds on i-Rheo-Indent technology to uncover mechanical biomarkers of disease through rapid, broadband viscoelastic measurements. The work sits at the intersection of fundamental physics, soft matter, biomedical engineering, ...
