Ulster PDRA and PhD opportunities

Dr Adrian Boyd (Senior Lecturer in Biomaterials, Ulster University) has a range of exciting PDRA and PhD opportunities available based at the Belfast  and Derry/Londonderry campuses as part of the North West Centre for Advanced Manufacturing 2 (NWCAM2) project. Click on the links at the end of this post for further details and how to apply.

As key members of the NWCAM2 team, the PhDs and PDRAs will support and deliver research and innovation projects with industrial partners across key themes such as additive manufacturing; digital manufacturing; and future materials. Cross-border collaboration is crucial due to the shared challenges in the region’s Health and Life Sciences sector, particularly around sustainability, technological adoption, productivity, and market competitiveness. These research projects will be conducted across a wide geographical area of Northern Ireland and Ireland where the companies are located and therefore, the postholder would be expected to undertake the necessary travel to fulfill the requirements of the role.

The NWCAM2 project, which is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), is led by Catalyst, in partnership with Atlantic Technology University (ATU), North West Regional College, Ulster University, Trinity College Dublin and Irish Manufacturing Research Centre. NWCAM2 is a cross border innovation initiative seeking to help 30 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health and life sciences sector to embed and accelerate sustainable manufacturing in their businesses.
