The Graduate Research Education Programme in Engineering
(16 PhD Studentships)
Trinity College Dublin invites applications for 16 PhD Studentships in the new Graduate Research Education Programme in Engineering. This structured PhD programme is offered by Trinity College in partnership with University College Dublin, University College Cork and Dublin Institute of Technology.
The PhD Programme is aimed at students with strong engineering backgrounds who want careers in the design and development of products and devices that will drive economic growth and sustainability and solve current human problems in healthcare, climate change, and energy security.
The program will provide a high quality bioengineering PhD education, which will produce the critical mass of talented and capable bioengineers required to underpin the design and development of medical devices that will drive economic growth and sustainability.
In carrying out original research students will use and develop core research skills with a capacity to exploit and advance scientific knowledge. The Programme will focus on Bioengineering & Medical Devices and Sustainable Energy & Energy Efficient Devices, offering advanced taught modules in the areas of:
•Bioengineering Fundamentals;
•Medical Device Design;
•Sustainable Electric Energy Systems;
•Energy Efficient Devices & Technologies.
The programme will also provide the additional skills to enable the students to recognise how their research can lead to the innovation and creative design process fundamental to a sustainable medical device sector. This provides a focused, coordinated education geared towards enabling the student's creativity and research skills whilst enhancing the impact of their research through technology transfer and potential for "start-ups" and will be achieved through engagement with the Innovation Academy.
