NEW STRUCTURED PhD PROGRAMME IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE (BMERM)
15 Funded PhD Fellowships
The medical technology industry is a critically important industry internationally and is one of the pillars of the Irish economy, with a tremendous potential for growth, which is dependent on having a highly educated and trained workforce and a strong research and innovation capability. Biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine are at the heart of this growth potential and this structured PhD programme is designed to produce graduates who will be the next generation of leaders in the industry and in academic research and education in the field.
This 4-year Structured PhD Programme in Biomedical Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, which will be delivered by a core partnership of institutions: National University of Ireland Galway (Administrative Coordinator), University of Limerick and University College Cork, linked with a wider consortium of partner institutions nationally and internationally, including the Irish Medical Devices Association (IMDA). BMERM combines a PhD research project with a unique didactic and experiential learning programme, resulting in an unparalleled learning experience for the student in terms of its combination of world-class research and focused clinical and industrial engagement, the latter facilitated by the direct involvement of IMDA with is member ship of over 100 medical technology companies in Ireland.
At the core of the 4-year programme is the PhD research project, performed in collaboration with internationally renowned investigators, in one of the following five areas: Functional Biomaterials; Mechanics of Biological Cells, Tissues and Systems; Bioelectronics and Rehabilitation Engineering; Regenerative Orthobiologics and Neurotherapeutics; Regenerative Cardiovascular Therapeutics.
The BMERM didactic and experiential learning programme involves the following elements: Student Placement, Annual Summer School, Medical Sciences and Clinical Attachment module, unique “BioInnovate” modules for medical technology innovation, design and entrepreneurship training, Generic Skills modules, and a range of advanced discipline-specific modules aligned with the five research areas.
Applicants for funded fellowships of the programme should have a primary degree in a relevant area of engineering or science, at a minimum level of a H2.1 bachelors degree or equivalent. The closing date is June 3rd, 2011, at 5 pm. Further details on the programme and how to apply are available on

BMERM is funded under the Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions Cycle 5.
