FULLY FUNDED PHD POSITION IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF NEXT-GENERATION CERAMIC MATERIALS IN RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, CANADA

Leave a comment

LOCATION: Canada

In a joint project between the Alberta Next-Generation Additive Manufacturing (ANGAM) Lab (Dr. Yakout) and the Craniofacial Biomechanics and Biomaterials Research (CBBR) Group (Dr. Romanyk) at the University of Alberta, we are exploring the additive manufacturing of zirconia-based ceramics for use in dental applications. The project will focus on developing optimized manufacturing routes (e.g. feedstock material and post-processing) to obtain targeted outcomes in dental applications (e.g. superior mechanical performance with biological and esthetic considerations). Necessary research will involve hands-on training and methods related to additive manufacturing and advanced characterization from a range of perspectives.

ELIGIBILITY:

Bachelors or Masters of Science (or Engineering) degree in Mechanical or related program

Willing to register in the University of Alberta’s MSc or PhD Program

Keen interest and/or experience (coursework, research, and/or industrial) in: additive manufacturing, materials characterization, experimental methods, advanced modeling techniques (e.g. finite element analysis), and use of MATLAB or other programming tools are assets

Minimum GPA of 3.3

Proven ability to work independently

Effective written and verbal communication skills; proficiency in English

Open to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, and foreign students

BENEFIT:

The University of Alberta Graduate Scholarship is a fully funded award covering the full cost of tuition and providing an additional annual stipend for successful candidates.

Training of undergraduate and graduate research assistants is paramount within our groups. Through the advertised project, trainees will be exposed to world-class additive manufacturing equipment, advanced material characterization facilities (e.g. through the nanoFAB Institute), and mechanical analysis. Finally, the highly multi-disciplinary nature of the research project exposes trainees to expertise in manufacturing, mechanical and materials characterization, and highly-relevant clinical applications.
