Doctoral Student Position in Medical Science: The University of Gothenburg is offering a doctoral position in medical science focused on the effects of biodegradable magnesium-based implants on bone quality, biomineralization, and bone marrow adiposity. This scholarship aims to advance the understanding of magnesium implants and their impact on long-term bone health.
Designation
Doctoral Student Position in Medical Science
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Research Area | Biodegradable Magnesium Implants |
| Location | Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg University |
| Qualification | Master’s degree or equivalent |
| Deadline for Application | 2025-02-27 |
Research Area
The research will explore how biodegradable magnesium implants influence bone mineral crystallinity, mechanical properties, and persistent increases in bone marrow fat, with the goal of assessing their long-term effects on bone health.
Location
Sahlgrenska Academy, Department of Clinical Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Eligibility/Qualification
To apply for this scholarship, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- A completed master’s degree or equivalent education (at least 240 higher education credits, including 60 at an advanced level).
- Proficiency in English, demonstrated by completion of English course B/6 or equivalent.
- Background in structural biology, biomineralization, or materials science, with documented experience in electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, or vibrational spectroscopy being advantageous.
Description
The doctoral project aims to investigate the effects of biodegradable magnesium-based implants on bone quality, enhancing the design of clinical safety for Mg implants while maintaining structural integrity and bone health. The position will involve both in vivo experiments and advanced analytical techniques to evaluate the biological and mechanical effects of magnesium implants over time. The scholarship entails full-time studies for a duration of four years leading to a PhD degree.
How to Apply
Interested applicants must submit a complete application through the University of Gothenburg’s recruitment portal. The application should include:
- A personal letter
- CV
- Proof of completed advanced degree or course credits
- Documentation of English proficiency
For candidates with a foreign degree, it is essential to attach diplomas and course listings for evaluation.
Last Date for Application
Applications should be submitted by February 27, 2025.
