PhD Research Fellow in Dental Biomaterials, Wear Testing and Mechanical Characterisation

About the position Applications are invited for a 100% full-time, three-year PhD Research Fellowship at the Department of Biomaterials (BIOMAT), Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo (UiO), Norway. The preferred starting date is as soon as possible, or by agreement. The position is linked to the funded project “Wear and Fracture Testing Models for Dental Crowns: From Oral Tribology to 4D Micro-CT Failure Analysis”. The laboratory-based project combines dental biomaterials, development of wear-testing methods, mechanical characterisation and advanced X-ray imaging, with collaboration in restorative dentistry/prosthodontics and experimental mechanics.
