PhD positions in computational solid mechanics and mechanobiology

Dear iMechanica community

I have two fully funded PhD positions available.  Looking for candidates with background in: (i) solid mechanics/structures, and (ii) computational mechanics/physics with interest in problems of biophysical flavour (modelling and some experimentation, bio-tribology, etc.). Please note that these are PhD studentships and not post-docs (i.e. Early Stage Researchers). I encourage candidates having a masters or exceptional undergraduate degrees in mechanics, mechanical/aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, computational physics, Materials Science (particularly programmes that have a significant maths/computational content) to apply. Links below – please follow the instructions.
