1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development and application of recombinant antibodies to map pathology-related changes in glycosaminoglycans on breast cancer cells
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD student will join an extensive team of scientists delivering a BBSRC strategic Longer and Larger project, GlycoWeb. The team includes research groups from The University of Nottingham, Liverpool University, Manchester University, and the Francis Crick Institute, alongside international (USA and Denmark) and commercial (InterReality Labs) partners. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of biomolecules that decorate the surface of virtually all cells in the body. They play critical roles in a multitude of biological processes, including cell signalling and development, and are known to be dysregulated in disease, including cancers.
Application Deadline: 14 August 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Holocaust Refugees: Working with fragmentary museum collections
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD will explore the NHCM’s rich, largely untapped collections of ego-documents – letters, photographs, and artefacts – which have been donated by Jewish survivors who were displaced from their homelands by Nazi persecution, or in the aftermath of the Holocaust. It will focus on the NHCM collections, but also draw on other archives including, but not confined to, materials from the Jewish Museum London, which are currently housed at the University of Nottingham’s Manuscripts and Special Collections.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Governance
Summary of PhD Program:
We are one of the largest Students’ Union in the country, connecting 38,000 student members to share, support and inspire each other while at University. As a registered charity we act as the recognised representative body of all students at the University, and every student is automatically a member free of charge. We provide a range of activities, events, campaigning, commercial and professional services that benefit and support students to get involved, find support and make change.
Application Deadline: 08 August 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Business
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking to recruit two high calibre and enthusiastic PhD researchers who will undertake original research at Nottingham University Business School. To this end, we have made available two full scholarships, which are aimed at one international and one home PhD students. The international scholarship will cover tuition fees of £23,500 and a yearly stipend of £19,237, while the home scholarship will cover tuition fees of £5,350 and a yearly stipend of £19,237. Both these PhD scholarships are for a period of three years and are expected to commence on 1st February 2025.
Application Deadline: 31 August 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in High Performance AC Drives for Next Generation Automotives
Summary of PhD Program:
The future of e-mobility will see technologies competing in cost, power density and efficiency. These features can be achieved through new approaches in the design of electric motors which will need to be augmented through innovations in the design and control power converters driving these motors. As means of providing a holistic automotive solution, this PhD studentship will be based on the design of power converters to support and enhance the performance of next generation motor designs for e-mobility.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electromagnetic Compatibility for 25kV Rail Systems, funded by Network Rail
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD will investigate modelling techniques that can help engineers understand electromagnetic compatibility issues in railway 25kV AC overhead lines. This will include developing models, mathematical techniques and software tools that can predict how the power distribution lines, on-train power converters and trackside systems interact, and then to use these tools to understand how EMC issues can be mitigated.
Application Deadline: 07 August 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in advanced rotor-stator interactions through bearings
Summary of PhD Program:
Ball bearings and roller bearings play crucial roles in most rotating machines. Their design and selection involves a complex mix of considerations including component life under normal running conditions, power losses, vibrations in the machine and the ability to carry exceptional loads when/if these loads come to exist. These bearings, collectively called rolling-element bearings, are key parts of aero-engines, centrifuges, wind turbines, electric motors, range extenders, fans, pumps, compressors etc. etc. and they serve in almost every industry imaginable ranging from renewable energy through oil-and-gas exploitation and transport.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering high-entropy manganese oxide nanocrystals for low-cost, robust rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZAB)
Summary of PhD Program:
The primary challenge of access to clean and affordable energy will be addressed via the development of sustainable rechargeable batteries at low cost with metals like zinc (Zn) as an exemplar platform. Zn can outperform lithium (Li) in terms of cost ($1.85 kg−1 – Zn versus $68 kg−1 – Li), safety, and relative abundance with recycling recovery efficiency as high as 99%. The well-established ability of abundant and low-cost, manganese-based air electrodes to deliver physicochemical structure modulation and active sites for oxygen electrochemistry (oxygen reduction and evolution reactions are both of profound relevance to rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZAB).
Application Deadline: 16 August 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Artificial Intelligence for Laser Ultrasonic Polycrystal Imaging
Summary of PhD Program:
Polycrystals are the building blocks of numerous materials around us, from metals to ceramics, influencing their mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Understanding their intricate structures is crucial for advancing fields such as aerospace, engineering, and energy. Determining the intricate structure of the polycrystals is a laborious and restrictive task, and only a handful of measurement techniques are capable of fully imaging material microstructure. Laser ultrasonics is one of these techniques and it does this by linking the elasticity of individual crystals and measured ultrasound wave speeds.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Negative Emissions Technologies for Net Zero – Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)
Summary of PhD Program:
With the growing concern over climate change, there is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This project will explore the potential of biofuels as a CO2-neutral fuel and their energy potential in advanced combustion as an inherent CO2 capture technology to develop negative emission energy production technologies. The research will encompass various scales, from lab experiments to pilot scale, focusing on different biofuel types and low-cost oxygen carriers to advanced oxygen carriers.
