PhD Positions in 3D Bioprinting: Trinity College Dublin is offering two fully-funded PhD studentships in the field of 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering. These positions, funded by Science Foundation Ireland, are part of a project aimed at engineering musculoskeletal tissues that mimic the structure and mechanics of native tissue. The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary lab led by Prof. Daniel Kelly and will work on developing a biofabrication platform to produce biomimetic articular cartilage grafts.

Designation: 2 PhD Studentships
Research Area: 3D Bioprinting and Tissue Engineering
Location: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, or a related discipline.
- Desirable: Experience in biomaterials, tissue engineering, 3D (bio)printing, cell culture, and/or biomechanical testing.
Job Description: The project involves leveraging biofabrication technologies to engineer grafts that mimic the heterogeneous and anisotropic structure and mechanics of native musculoskeletal tissues. The successful candidates will develop a new biofabrication platform, using the lab’s expertise in bioprinting and bioink development. This platform will guide the fusion and remodeling of stem cell-derived cartilage spheroids to create biomimetic articular cartilage. The aim is to produce grafts capable of biologically resurfacing large areas of damaged synovial joints, potentially transforming orthopaedic medicine and regenerative applications beyond.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit their CV along with the names and contact details of three referees via email to Prof. Daniel Kelly at kellyd9@tcd.ie.
Last Date for Apply: Positions are available from November 2023 onwards and will remain open until filled.
