Antibacterial resistant Dental Implant Engineering
Application Deadline ：Wednesday, April 06, 2022
Dental implants are often affected by bacterial infection which if remain undiagnosed may lead to a major surgical intervention, causing pain and distress. Worldwide, more than 40% of implant-wearing patients encounter infection and suffer from peri-implantitis. At present, there is no early diagnosis of peri-implantitis - a patient only realizes when the pain is felt.
The PhD project is an opportunity for engineering Infection Resistant and Controlling Dental Implant which is based on root-anatomy and mastication biomechanics. The project will run in collaboration with Industry (Attenborough Dental in UK) which manufactures implant.
The PhD training will be focused on Biomedical device Engineering using novel materials, biomechanics, cell, and antimicrobial biological characterization and control. The supervision support will be interdisciplinary.
Candidate
Applicants must hold a 1st class Honours degree in Bachelor or an MSc with Merit/Distinction in one of the Engineering (Medical, Chemical, Mechanical, Materials) disciplines. Dentistry or Orthopaedic graduates with an equivalent bachelor or Master equivalent qualification may also apply.

About the Project
This research aims to deliver a platform for next generation resilient connected manufacturing services. It will allow future manufacturing operations to be delivered by ubiquitous production units that can autonomously morph into different configurations to meet specific product and volume requirements, supply chain variations and disruptions. The University of Sheffield team will focus on investigating how in-process monitoring and control can be used to extend the limits to morphability of manufacturing systems. This will be achieved by developing an in-process monitoring and control infrastructure that is able to provide real-time intelligence on the current and future states of a process, thus allowing dynamic task planning that can self-adapt to facilitate multiple product and process variations.
These will support the technology developments and research projects carried out under Made Smarter Innovation - Research Centre for Connected Factories (EP/V062123/1, September 2021 – February 2025), funded by the EPSRC on behalf of UKRI and its ISCF. This project theme will be undertaken in collaboration between the University of Nottingham (lead), the University of Sheffield and the University of Cambridge. The partners of this Centre include Airbus, BAE Systems, Beckhoff Automation, BMW, Bosch Rexroth, Cosworth, Fanuc Robotics, GKN, Loop Technology, MakeUK, NPL, Nestle, Omron Electronics, PA Consulting, Real-Time Innovations, Siemens, Spirit Aerosystems, Starrag, Target3D and MTC.
Funded by ACSE as part of the successful grant application
We require applicants to have either an undergraduate honours degree (1st) or MSc (Merit or Distinction) in a relevant science or engineering subject from a reputable institution.
Inter-generational knowledge of oral healthcare within a community setting
Application Deadline ：Wednesday, March 16, 2022
The studentship will develop an understanding of knowledge practices around oral healthcare services and their link with trust in public services in a community experiencing high levels of deprivation, comparing groups across genders and generations.
Specifically, this project will explore:
How do knowledge practices in the local community encourage and discourage trust in oral healthcare services?
How do knowledge practices converge, diverge, and interact between different gender and generational groups, and how does this affect their healthcare service use?
What strategies do local groups use to mediate knowledge and support regarding oral healthcare, and which strategies and actors represent the most potential for effective health promotion?
Aims:
1) to explore the most promising strategies for improving support in healthcare use relevant to local people
2) to explore the use of innovative creative methods to reach people who may not have engaged with healthcare services
3) conceptual development in sociology around inter-generational healthcare knowledge practices.
The project will be partly based at the Feelgood Factory - a local community organisation in Netherton, an area of Merseyside experiencing high deprivation.
The student will conduct an ethnography (including in-depth interviews and focus groups) using participatory creative methods, including walk-along interviews, photography-based methods, or relational diagramming. The fieldwork will take place at the Feelgood Factory, the project partner.
Candidate
Undergraduate course (1+3) and/or Master’s course (+3) at a recognised UK higher education institution. Qualification and/or experience or qualifications from outside the UK may be considered if equivalent to a UK Honours degree (ESRC bases its assessments of qualifications attained outside the UK on the British Council’s NARIC guide).
Undergraduate degree in an appropriate topic (e.g. Sociology) at a level of First or upper second class.
A background in social sciences (e.g. anthropology, sociology, social policy, political sciences); or a background in related areas such as social work, public health, psychology, dentistry, or another health-related field, or arts-based methods.
A substantial qualitative research component (e.g. a thesis using qualitative research methods) in their undergraduate or graduate degree
To qualify for the +3 studentship (rather than the 1+3), the student must have completed, or expect to complete before October 2022, a Master’s degree in a related field (e.g. social or behavioural sciences, public health, social work, arts-based methods)
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate strong communication and team working skills, and ability to be flexible in adapting to the needs and strengths of each of the groups at the community partner organisation
Ability to write and critically analyse scientific literature
Interest in health inequalities
Interest in oral health and dental services
CASE studentships provide an opportunity for PhD students to gain first-hand experience of work outside an academic environment in a doctoral project supported by both academic supervisors and a supervisor from a non-HEI partner organisation.
NorthWest Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP) PhD studentships are funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in a competitive process.
The funded studentship includes:
1. Payment of academic fees (standard UKRI Home rate)
2. Maintenance Stipend (2021/2022: £15,609, 2022/23 rate subject to confirmation)
3. Access to Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) for research related expenses.
4. Opportunity to apply for additional funding (e.g. overseas Institutional Visits)
To apply, please submit a cv and covering letter outlining your reasons for wanting to take up this studentship, and details of 2 academic referees to mzande@liverpool.ac.uk.
For non-UK qualifications transcripts in English as well as details in the original language must be provided with the application form.
