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 Novel subsurface Raman microscopy technologies to enable the development of next-generation drug and implant therapies
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, the student will develop various approaches to allow deep Raman spectroscopy. These approaches will rely on computer modelling of light propagation in tissue to understand how to deliver and collect efficiently light from the desired region of interest into tissue. This information will then be used to design and build optimised instruments, which will then be used to carry out experiments. The project will explore the use of spatial light modulators and implantable wireless optoelectronics to maximise the penetration depth, spatial resolution and sensitivity to the required molecular markers.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Joint modelling of latent trajectories for dynamic prediction of competing outcomes in patients with liver disease
Summary of PhD Program:
This studentship combines novel methods in dynamic prediction, longitudinal data analysis, survival and competing risk models, and latent class modelling within a probabilistic framework. The goal is to develop methods to significantly change how we care for patients with liver disease by identifying whether patients would benefit from specialist care, which specialty, and when or when not to intervene within the reality of a resource-stretched healthcare system.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in High Speed Railway Degradation Modelling
Summary of PhD Program:

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cancer cell diagnostics using biomechanics and artificial intelligence
Summary of PhD Program:
By using phonon microscopy and artificial intelligence, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate the existence, relevancy and applicability of mechanical biomarkers in the determination of the state and progression of cancer cells by the use of novel imaging, and sensing techniques. You will work with both experts in cancer and optoacoustic instrumentation to deliver new insights into the mechanical properties of cancer and their relationship with disease progression.
Application Deadline: 07 June 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Super-optical resolution imaging using a phonon probe microscope
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking PhD students who are motivated, curious and passionate about scientific research. Together we will make technological advances in imaging research technologies that can close in maximum resolution currently achievable with non-invasive imaging techniques. These are extremely relevant for biomedical applications, particularly if they lead to the characterisation of mechanical properties.
Application Deadline: 07 June 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Micromechanics and in-depth materials analysis of advanced aerospace materials upon the manufacturing process
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will deal with the micromechanics and in-depth materials analysis of advanced aerospace materials upon manufacturing operations to understand the materials response to manufacturing process to efficiently support the manufacture of aerospace components. This will involve using a wide range of sophisticated testing and analysis techniques including not only the study of conventional manufacturing process of advanced aerospace materials but also the state-of-the-art materials investigation such as Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and in-situ micromechanics.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Extra-long compliant snake robot capable of self-localisation for inspection in fusion power plants
Summary of PhD Program:
This specific project will be part funded by RACE (Remote Applications in Challenging Environments, https://race.ukaea.uk/). RACE was founded in 2014 as part of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) fusion research and development programme – to create robots for operating in some of the most challenging environments imaginable. The main research focus of this PhD program is the intelligent design and control of an extra-long compliant snake robot capable of self-localisation for inspection in fusion power plants. In this role, you will be at the forefront of research that offers robotics and AI technological innovations with an aim to improve the quality of inspection for fusion power plants. As a result, this position offers the opportunity for work with the UKAEA.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Turning up the heat on soil carbon: Quantifying carbon dynamics and climate resilience of agave production in Mexico
Summary of PhD Program:
“Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the world today, and agriculture is both a contributor to and a casualty of climate change. The impact of agriculture on the environment has been increasingly scrutinised, as it is responsible for 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, regenerative farming offers a promising solution to reduce the impact of agriculture on climate change and increase the resilience of farming systems to climate change impacts. Our recent work has demonstrated substantial benefits for adopting regenerative practices in terms of long-term climate resilience. However, the benefits and trade-offs from such transitions are poorly quantified, and there remains little understanding of how such changes can contribute to the decarbonisation and increased sustainability of supply chains.
