PhD Studentship Opportunity in Biomedical Engineering for UK/EU students*
The project will focus on the problem of high pin site infection in external fracture fixations and the effects of pin site movement using experimental and computational methods.
The PhD candidate will be consulting with clinical partners from the Royal
Orthopaedic Hospital and will gain a unique opportunity to carry out
clinical-led research in an exciting interdisciplinary project. The candidate
would also benefit from the use of state-of-the-art facilities at the Aston
Institute of Photonic Technologies.
Application deadline: 26th July 2015
The ideal candidate would have a first class or upper 2:1 honours degree in
Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering. Skills requirements include
knowledge and experience in materials testing, finite element modelling and
programming such as Matlab. Experience in electronics is highly preferable.
For informal enquiries about this project and other opportunities within the
Biomedical Engineering Research Group, please contact Dr Sarah Junaid by email
s.junaid@aston.ac.uk or to apply visit http://jobs.aston.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=R150121.
* Full time PhD studentship covering tuition fees for three years and with a starting stipend of £13,863. International applicants can apply and will need to pay the difference in international tuition fees.
