PhD Studentship in Electrical Impedance Tomography, Middlesex University, UK

An exciting research opportunity is available for a highly qualified graduate in engineering, mathematics or physics for further studies leading to the award of the PhD degree. The successful applicant will undertake work on an EPSRC funded project dealing with the development of a novel Electrical Impedance Tomography bio-imaging system for non-invasive monitoring of neonate lung function in Intensive Care Units. The proposed system will provide a non-invasive measure of lung maturity and development, oxygen requirements and lung function, suitable for use in small, unsedated infants. This tool will be routinely used to define the nature and severity of persisting lung disease, and to identify risk factors for developing chronic lung problems.

PhD studentship (Ref: MU/EIT): Wearable monitoring devices.
This project will involve the development of a wearable monitoring device that allows continuous or intermittent monitoring of physiologic signals which is crucial for the advancement of both the diagnosis as well as treatment of neonate respiratory function. The research will involve the investigation of built in sensors to measure the boundary profile to model the boundary shape as well as novel techniques to ensure electrode contact integrity during routine physiotherapy. This work programme is particularly suited to applicants with a background in Engineering Design or Medical Physics.

The studentship is open to UK, European and overseas applicants.

To apply, please email a covering letter stating reference MU/EIT, your expertise, experience and research interests, a copy of your CV, and the names and contact details of at least two referees to:

Professor Richard Bayford (e-mail: r.bayford[ at ]mdx.ac.uk) or Dr Andrew Tizzard (email: a.tizzard[ at ]mdx.ac.uk).

The closing date for applications is the 16 November 2007.
