MSCA Fellowship Application Opportunity in simulation and data-driven approaches for bioabsorbable metals for medical devices at University of Galway

MedTrain+ is the successor Industry-Academia Training, Career Development and Mobility Fellowship Programme at CÚRAM, SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices to MedTrain (GA 713690). As part of this, MedTrain+ is offering prestigious three-year fellowships to eligible experienced researchers in the broad area of Medical Device Research and Development. The MedTrain+ programme will provide excellent experienced researchers with a research, complementary, and transferable skills training experience of the highest international standards. It will help them advance their scientific careers within a chosen sector, academia, industry, or the public sector.

Details of the programme are available here:

As part of the MedTrain+ programme, I will be supporting applications under my supervision in the topic area of:

•  Simulation and data-driven approaches for the design of bioabsorbable metals for medical devices

These fellowships will be based at the Biomechanics Research Centre in the School of Engineering at the University of Galway and continue our work in using simulation approaches to predict corrosion mechanisms in bioabsorbable metals for medical devices. In recent years, we have developed new approaches to (i) quantifying the spatial distribution and evolution of corrosion and (ii) approaches to predict the onset of evolution of surface-based corrosion. We wish to advance these techniques by supporting applications of fellows with experience in the area of either experimental or computational analysis of metal-based biomaterials.
