The research group I am part of is currently offering a PhD scholarship in electronic engineering. The project relies heavily on microcontroller (Arduino) technology for controlling new consumer medical devices for diagnosing sexually transmitted infections and interfacing with wireless networks and smart phones. This is a very exciting multidisciplinary project which is looking to recruit talented, enthusiastic and creative team members.
