PhD Studentship: Understanding osteogenic potential using musculoskeletal and finite element modelling
Overview
This PhD studentship is hosted by the Public Health and Sport Sciences department at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The project focuses on understanding osteogenic potential through musculoskeletal and finite element modelling to address osteoporosis, a bone-wasting disease affecting more women than men. The research builds upon an existing bone stress modelling data pipeline to investigate different exercise interventions, examine individual responses to exercise based on bone size and shape, and correlate simple metrics from accelerometers or inertial measurement units with estimated bone stresses.
What you get
The studentship provides funding for tuition fees along with an annual stipend of £21,805 per annum for the 2026/7 academic year.
Key dates
The closing date for applications is 2026-12-08.
