PhD Studentship in Smart Orthopaedic Devices at Imperial College London
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in smart implants and tooling for orthopaedic surgery, within the Medical Engineering Group of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. The studentship includes fees and a London-weighted stipend and has an October 2017 start date.
Metal additive manufacturing technology offers exciting new opportunities to embed sensors in surgical tooling and implants, enabling real-time monitoring of orthopaedic procedures and post-operative outcomes. The aim of this PhD is to exploit this opportunity, developing new smart devices to improve the treatment of joint pain and disease.
The student will work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment and will have access to superb laboratory facilities. Collaboration, both within the department and across the wider Musculoskeletal Medical Engineering Centre at Imperial College London, will enhance the scope of the research. The ideal candidate will have the motivation, enthusiasm and communication skills required to thrive in such an environment.
Candidates must meet the academic requirements for enrolment for the PhD degree at Imperial College London and will have a first or upper second honours degree in mechanical engineering or a related subject. The PhD is funded by EPSRC who have eligibility criteria that must be met: https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/skills/stude...p/eligibility/
