1. Fully Funded PhD Position in BRING FORWARD BIOLOGICAL CONTROLS FOR DEVASTATING PANAMA DISEASE OF BANANA
Summary of PhD Program:
The Panama disease of bananas caused by Foc TR4 threatens the global production of bananas. In this project, we will explore soil bacteria to develop biocontrol methods to mitigate the Panama disease. Foc is resistant to most chemical fungicides and its control is currently limited to low efficient phytosanitary measures. Soil bacteria constantly interact with plants and fungi to thrive. Many bacteria species colonize plant roots to form mutually beneficial relationships. We have been exploring soil bacteria from Central American banana fields.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CHEMICAL AND THERMAL TREATMENT METHODS IN THE RADIOCARBON DATING OF CONSOLIDATED MUSEUM ARTEFACTS
Summary of PhD Program:
One of the greatest barriers to accurate and reliable radiocarbon dating of archaeological materials in museum or archival collections is the presence of materials introduced during conservation treatment, consolidants. Focussing on wood and bone primarily, this project will investigate how effectively existing pretreatment methods remove these sources of contamination, and it will also examine the potential of novel thermal decomposition and isotope methods for improved isolation of reliable material for radiocarbon dating.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in COUNTY ANTRIM GRAND JURY BURSARY
Summary of PhD Program:
This fund was established in 1972 from the proceeds of the sale of property belonging to the County Antrim Grand Jury at the time of its dissolution. The representatives of the Grand Jury, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance (now the Northern Ireland Department of Finance), gave the sum of £4,356 for the promotion and encouragement of legal education in the University.
Application Deadline: 16 August, 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Summary of PhD Program:
The Mathematical Science Research Centre, School of Mathematics & Physics at Queen’s University Belfast, is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team for a project focused on the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of mathematics, epidemiology, and public health, contributing to our understanding and management of infectious disease spread.
Application Deadline: 31 August 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in OPTIMISING SPEED, ENERGY, AND QUALITY OF MACHINE LEARNING MODELS WITH TRANSPRECISE COMPUTING
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of this PhD project is to investigate techniques that help address this gap by investigating novel techniques for serving and deployment of machine learning (ML) models, specifically in the context of health monitoring devices. This studentship is part of the project SWEET on Sustainable Wearable Edge Intelligence (SWEET), a collaboration between researchers from Queens University Belfast (UK), University College Dublin (Ireland) and Virginia Tech (USA).

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in AUTOMATED MODELLING, SCHEDULING AND CONTROL FOR MANUFACTURING AS A SERVICE
Summary of PhD Program:
Our first goal is to explore new modelling structures for predicting, controlling, and optimising supply chains that are subject to abrupt changes and may switch on demand or by change of operating conditions. We will focus on models valid for a range of possible parameters, incorporating volatility of demand and time varying availability of resources. Dynamics are event-driven and switching, capturing the versatile allocation of tasks. We will start from earlier work and structures taken, e.g., from queuing theory and discrete event systems, as well as hybrid systems, namely switching linear systems, timed automata with rectangular/zonotopic constraints.
