PhD Studentship: Biomedical Engineering 931 views

A fully funded PhD opportunity is available in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering within the Department of Mechanical Engineering Sciences at the University of Surrey under the project “Thermal Modelling of Ablative Techniques in Pelvic Venous Reflux”.

About the position:

• This PhD will develop this new technique by constructing an accurate model of thermal conduction through the tissues of the abdomens of patients suffering with pelvic venous reflux.
• These models will be developed from patient scans and the reconstructed into 3D models before being analysed by finite element analysis software such as ANSYS or COMSOL.

Eligibility:

• This studentship is only open to UK students with a first class degree in engineering or physical sciences.
• Experience of biomedical engineering and numerical modelling, particularly finite element analysis, would be beneficial but is not necessary.
• Students are initially registered for a PhD with probationary status and, subject to satisfactory progress, subsequently confirmed as having PhD status.

Funding: full cost of UK/EU tuition fees, plus an enhanced tax-free stipend of £18,000 p.a.

Starting Date: 1st October 2019

Applications:

• Apply online and include a CV and covering letter.
