PhD in Electroactive Biomaterials & Bioelectric Control of Cell Behaviour at Queen Mary University of London

The CREATIOn Lab at Queen Mary University of London, led by Lecturer Marc Fernandez Yague, is recruiting a China Scholarship Council (CSC)-funded PhD student for research on electroactive biomaterials and bioelectric control of cell behaviour. The project focuses on designing adaptive electroactive hydrogels that convert mechanical forces into bio-instructive electrical signals, with the aim of understanding how the stromal microenvironment influences cell fate, fibrosis, and tissue regeneration. This interdisciplinary research sits at the intersection of materials science, mechanobiology, and chemistry, offering opportunities to develop expertise in advanced biomaterials and their biomedical applications. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment in London, UK, and work closely with experts in materials chemistry and mechanobiology. The project is ideal for students interested in the development of innovative hydrogels and their use in regenerative medicine. The position is fully funded through the China Scholarship Council, which typically covers tuition and provides a stipend, subject to CSC eligibility criteria. Applicants should have a strong background in materials science, chemistry, biomedical engineering, or related fields, and experience with hydrogels, biomaterials, or mechanobiology is highly desirable. Proficiency in English and a good academic record are expected. The start date is September 2026, and the application deadline is 28 January 2026. Interested candidates should contact Marc Fernandez Yague via LinkedIn or email to discuss their suitability and next steps.
