Three new fully funded PhD positions in soft biomechanics and medical technologies at the University of Portsmouth

Three fully funded PhD positions are currently available in the field of soft tissue biomechanics and medical technologies at the School of Mechanical and Design Engineering of the University of Portsmouth (UK).

All of the three projects arise from a close and strong collaboration between the research group of Biomechanics and local and national hospitals. They all have a strong drive in clinical practice, from which the underlying research question originates.

The first project is aimed to predict the artero-venus fistula outcome/evolution in patients undergoing hemodialysis; the second project is aimed to provide an in vivo measurement of heart valves deformation; the third project is focused on improving clinical practice for lesion detection and diagnosis in gastroscopy.

Further details about the three projects are available online at:

Brilliant and ambitious students attracted by multidisciplinary subjects, interested in medical applications and strongly oriented to authentic teamworking are invited to apply.

The three positions are opened for UK/EEA applicants.

The deadline for the online application is Friday 23rd 2020.
