Our research group, based at Instituto Superior Tecnico - Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal) is looking for new members interested in PhD projects related to the computational modelling of early onset scoliosis, in collaboration with major Hospitals in Lisbon's area.
The project can be tailored to your interests and potentially go from the development of new treatments to the implementation of constitutive models to simulate bone growth under scoliosis.
This preliminary round intends to select potential applicants to the scholarship programme promoted by Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (Portugal):
Please be aware that this preliminary round is by no means a job offer; no research funding is being offered at this stage.
The potential candidates shall have completed a master’s degree in Mechanical, Biomedical or Civil Engineering, and be interested in proceeding to PhD studies (candidates with a previous PhD degree will not be accepted).
The 2026 call of this programme closes by 31 March 2026.
The rules of these programmes must be strictly followed by the candidate, for the application to be accepted by FCT.
Interested candidates shall send a short CV (maximum of 2 pages), including the academic degrees obtained so far and the track record of publications in peer reviewed international journals plus presentations in international conferences.
Please send a motivation letter as well, including the contact of 2 academic references (maximum of 1 page).
These documents must be written in English and our internal deadline is 19 March 2026.
