1. Hip fracture and fracture mechanics of bone
The project is aimed at understanding bone and hip fracture at material level. Positions are available at PhD or Post-doctoral levels. Degrees in Materials, Mechanics or Mechanical Engineering and strength in mechanics are preferred. MD with expertise in orthopaedics is also welcome. Experience in bone, mechanical testing, micro-CT imaging is desirable. This is a collaborative research between Materials, Mechanical Engineering, and Orthopaedics. Main research will be conducted at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility.
2. Lanthanide drugs and bone strength
A position is available at the Master level. Degree in Materials or Mechanical Engineering is preferred. Experience in bone and mechanical testing is desirable. This is a collaborative research between Materials, Chemistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Eligibility
Outstanding individuals with strong interest in bone research are welcome to apply for the positions. Students have options of choosing the Materials Engineering (www.MTRL.ubc.ca) or the Biomedical Engineering program (www.BME.ubc.ca). Studying in Mechanical Engineering is also possible. A minimum of first-class standing is required for graduate studies. Candidates must meet the graduate entry requirements within the Faculty of Graduate Studies at UBC.
