Funding available for a PhD scholarship on synthetic tissues
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work in the Gobbo Group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. The position is for UK/EU student and is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), with funding for 42 months. The starting date is October 2020, and the research aims to implement the first synthetic tissues with collective information-processing functions.
COVID-19 won’t stop us from pushing the boundaries of Biomimetic Materials Science
Due to the COVID-19 emergency the Gobbo Group Lab is now closed, but our research never stops.
