Prof. Dr. David Hoey at Trinity College Dublin is inviting applications for two PhD positions in the Hoey Lab, focusing on bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The research will explore key areas such as immunology, mechanobiology, biomaterials, and extracellular vesicles, with the overarching goal of developing novel therapeutics and biofabrication technologies to treat orthopedic defects and diseases like osteoporosis. The Hoey Lab is renowned for its work on the mechanics of musculoskeletal physiology and the translation of this knowledge into innovative solutions for orthopedic health. Applicants should have a strong background in biology, biomedical engineering, materials science, or related fields, and a keen interest in the lab's research themes. The positions offer an opportunity to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment at one of Ireland's leading universities. Candidates are required to submit a CV and contact details for three referees to Prof. David Hoey. The application deadline is May 31, 2026.
