We are currently recruiting graduates in Engineering or the Physical Sciences for October 2011 who have obtained, or expect to obtain, a first or upper second class honours degree to join the Medical Devices Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Strathclyde which is funded by the EPSRC Life Sciences Interface Programme.
The centre is designed to allow graduates to carry out research relevant to problems in healthcare that can be addressed through new medical devices or related technologies. The students of the centre have the opportunity to work with medical companies and NHS and other clinical groups in state of the art research projects. The projects carried out in the centre have a high degree of relevance to the clinicians, patients and medical companies who are the end users of such research.
Graduates accepted for the centre who are UK citizens will receive a four-year studentship covering living expenses and fees. EU citizens who have been resident in the UK for 3 years or more are also eligible for the full studentship. Fees only support is available for other EU citizens.
