[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 ...

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship at the University of Nottingham in the area of mechanical engineering and materials science . The project investigates the interface material layer created during linear friction welding (LFW) of titanium alloys , with a focus on thermo-mechanical effects, material flow, process stability, and the interaction between the part and tooling. The research will combine computational simulation with experimental investigations , including test welds and n...

[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...
