University of Plymouth; Devon and Torbay; Presencial; GBP 18.000 - 21.000; Jornada completa

Ventajas ofrecidas por este puesto de trabajo

4-year studentship

Tuition fees covered

UKRI stipend

Descripción de la vacante

University of Plymouth seeks a motivated doctoral candidate to investigate collagen architecture in cornea and sclera using polarisation-resolved multiphoton microscopy. The project spans Exeter and Plymouth, with two tissue architectures and associated mechanics to model.

You will work within biophotonics and eye-vision groups, applying physics, engineering and biology, with no requirement for prior machine-learning experience, and there is a 4-year funded studentship with tuition fees and UKRI

Formación

• Backgrounds in physics, engineering, mathematics, biology or biomedical science all fit.
• You need mathematical confidence and willingness to code, but no machine learning.

Responsabilidades

• Image collagen architecture using label-free, polarisation-resolved multiphoton microscopy.
• Generate paired datasets linking tissue architecture to mechanical response.
• Develop machine-learning models that respect physics and report uncertainty.
