ERC funded PhD studentships in corneal bioengineering
Following the award of a European Research Council starting grant, two fully funded PhD studentships have become available in the area of corneal bioengineering. The aim of these projects will be to characterize corneal cell behaviour and design of biomaterial scaffolds for corneal regeneration. The successful candidates will receive training in a variety of biological and bioengineering techniques and have access to state-of-the-art facilities at the Trinity Centre for Bioengineering. There will also be the opportunity to attend international conferences.
Candidates should ideally have a 1st class honours primary degree or MSc degree in a relevant science, medical or engineering discipline. Experience or knowledge in any of the following is desirable but not essential as training will be provided: molecular techniques; cell culture and imaging; cell biology; biomaterials synthesis and scaffold fabrication; tissue engineering and ophthalmology.
Two fully funded PhD Studentship at Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin are available that include fees (at EU student rate only) and a competitive stipend starting 1st September, 2015. Closing date for applications is 31st May 2015. Interested candidates for this exciting opportunity should send a CV, cover letter and contact details for two referees to Dr. Mark Ahearne via e-mail (ahearnm@tcd.ie). Informal enquires are welcome.
