1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Strategic Use of Digital Technologies in Delivering Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)
Summary of PhD Program:
Calls from both research and practice emphasise the inability of traditional construction methods to meet the government’s housing goals. Meeting the set goals exacerbates the need to change the ways places are delivered. By changing the longstanding traditional construction methodologies onto a more controlled environment; circular, societal, and sustainable benefits can be widely realised. However, the industry has recently witnessed the downfall of leading organisations associated with comparable construction offerings referred to as the modern methods of construction (MMC).
Application Deadline: 27 August 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Accessible Transport
Summary of PhD Program:
There is evidence that the lived experiences of disabled people are not considered enough in the design of transport vehicles, modes, and services. As such, in 2021, the Innovation team at the Motability Foundation commenced a pilot scholarship programme for people with lived experience of disability to undertake research into accessible transport. This is a long-term investment in people who may have a long career in transport design having the opportunity to work on complex transportation problems that are directly relevant to many disabled people. The PhD project will be conducted within this framework.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Miniaturized optical atomic clocks: pioneering quantum technology for ultra-precise timing with microcombs
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project, blending theoretical and experimental approaches, aims to revolutionize quantum technologies by developing ultra-precise timing counters. Central to this endeavor is the advancement of optical frequency combs, which are the cornerstone of modern optical atomic clocks. These combs, recognized with a Nobel Prize in 2005, consist of ultraprecise, equally spaced laser lines. Our project, conducted at the forefront of integrated photonics, nonlinear physics, and smart optical computation, will push the boundaries of miniaturization for these sources.
Application Deadline: 5 August 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Lifelong learning and shareable models: How to reduce the energy footprint of AI and contribute to a sustainable decarbonised future
Summary of PhD Program:
Current AI models are not designed to reuse and share knowledge. When conditions change, e.g., data distributions, locations, or platforms, retraining needs to occur from scratch. In some cases, like for foundation models or for complex robotics tasks, the process requires very large amount of data and energy. Recent advances towards lifelong learning and sharable models promise to create a new efficient AI landscape in which machine-learned knowledge can be built incrementally and worldwide with optimized energy use.
Application Deadline: 09 August 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering with Business Strategies
Summary of PhD Program:
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an essential capability for development of modern systems and its use is being mandated on some major projects of national significance. Furthermore, large complex projects require coherence across the supply chain in both technical and business processes; the MBSE approach has at its heart a model that is regarded as a single point of truth, enabling co-ordinated and interoperable approach to development across the whole enterprise.
Application Deadline: 9 August 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Improving public engagement on disruptive green technology projects
Summary of PhD Program:
This research will critically examine the efficacy of current public engagement efforts for disruptive green technology projects. Within project management studies, public engagement has conventionally been addressed under the remit of stakeholder management (Chow & Leiringer, 2020), but this fails to capture the way stakeholder networks evolve dynamically over time (Missonier & Loufrani-Fedida, 2014). Moreover, opposition to urban development has often been labelled as NIMBY-ism (Carley et al., 2020), further alienating disenfranchised community groups.
Application Deadline: 27 August 2024d
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
