[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...

[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 ...

RWTH Aachen University is offering a PhD position in the Department of Biohybrid & Medical Textiles (BioTex), within the Institute of Applied Medical Engineering (AME). The project, ElastiCation , focuses on understanding how the molecular design and functionalisation of elastin-based biomaterials influence their susceptibility to calcification. The work is situated at the interface of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cardiovascular research. The successful candidate will join the Biomateri...
