CRYOPRESERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUE RESEARCH
Applications are invited for a PhD. graduate student position in the area
of Biomechanical/Biomedical Engineering at the University of Calgary.
Graduate students at the MSc level may also be considered.
The specific area of research is the investigation of Ice Structure and the
Osmotic Environment in Tissues during Freezing. The applicant must be
strongly committed to research and have solid background in any one of the
following: Continuum Mechanics, Physics of Phase Change, Heat and Mass
Transfer, Cryogenics, Thermodynamics, Multiphase Porous Media, Chemical
Engineering and Numerical Modelling techniques such as Finite Elements.
Funding of approximately $15, 000 CAN is available from a Whitaker
Foundation Research grant. This may also be supplemented by income from
