Research Fellow in Wear and Corrosion in Hip Prostheses (ENGME1113)

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in biotribology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?

You will join a vibrant research institute (Institute of Functional Surfaces) and be part of a project working on the assessment of wear and corrosion within hip prostheses using techniques such as advanced surface analysis. You will work with a diverse group of researchers, academics and clinicians to develop and improve hip prostheses, leading to enhanced surgical outcomes for patients. The project (Life Long Joints) is funded by the EU and information can be found at https://lifelongjoints.eu/

Holding a PhD (or close to completion) and a first degree in a relevant engineering or physical sciences discipline, you will have a strong background in engineering science and experience of wear and corrosion experimental research including advanced surface analysis techniques.
