Job Details
Do you want to be part of a globally leading research network comprising institutions across Europe?
Would you like to learn new skills in medical engineering with a focus on novel surfaces and corrosion?
Could you be a future research leader in providing solutions to some of Europe's most pressing healthcare problems?
Do you want to further your career and attain a PhD at one of the UK's leading research intensive universities?
Current 3D printing techniques do not provide adequate surfaces/materials for functional use in joint replacement applications. A possible solution is to use novel coatings or surface treatments to enhance the tribological characteristics of these bearings. These coated structures, together with the preclinical joint replacement testing, will be assessed in advanced simulators in collaboration with l=en">Lulea Technical University and Uppsala University . Simulation Solutions, Imperial College London and Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trusts provide opportunities for enhanced professional development through further collaboration and secondments. To complete this exciting project you will be based in the Institute of Functional Surfaces and have access to world leading equipment including advanced simulators and other devices for both the tribological / corrosion testing of implants and the characterisation of the surfaces both coated and uncoated. This project will be supervised by Prof Richard M Hall and Dr Michael Bryant .
You will join a recently funded European Training Network (ETN) BioTrib (project ID 956004, call H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020). BioTrib offers high-level doctoral training to a total of 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) of which 3 will be employed at the University of Leeds. The project lead is id=N9-1332">Prof Richard M Hall at the University of Leeds.

Important eligibility rules for this position:
There are no restrictions on the nationality, but
- Applicants must, at the time of recruitment, have not yet been awarded a doctorate degree and be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This is measured from the date that you obtained the degree which would entitle you to embark on a PhD.
- At the time of recruitment, applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc...) in the UK for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment under the BioTrib project. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account
Salary:
- The Marie Skłodowska-CurieEarly Stage Researcher living allowance is fixed at €62,057 per annum including the mobility allowance. This figure is before employer's and employee's deductions for national insurance and taxes per year, which will be paid in Sterling using an appropriate conversion rate
