(SATURN CDT) Prediction and Mitigation of Flow-Induced Vibration in Nuclear Thermowell Instrumentation for Current and Next-Generation Reactors

University of Liverpool

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. UoM_Nuclear. The Challenge. Temperature measurement is not glamorous — until it fails. In a nuclear power plant, a thermowell is the slender protective sheath that keeps a temperature sensor alive inside a pipe carrying coolant at 350°C, 150 bar, and flow velocities exceeding 10 m/s. Read more

Supervisors: Dr S Fichera, Prof R Poole, Dr S Timme

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

(SATURN CDT) Flexible SiC–MOF Nanocomposite Foam for Efficient Retrieval and Immobilisation of Nuclear Residuals

University of Liverpool

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The UK faces a critical engineering challenge in safely decommissioning its nuclear legacy. While bulk radioactive materials can often be removed from tanks, vessels and pipework, small but hazardous residual “heels” remain trapped in confined and inaccessible geometries. Read more

Supervisors: Dr Y Chen, Dr HR Rajabi, Prof M Patel

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

AI Enabled Supply Chain Resilience in Food Manufacturing

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Biological Sciences

This PhD will develop AI-enabled methods to assess and monitor supply chain resilience in food manufacturing, moving beyond traditional self-reported supplier assessments. Read more

Supervisor: Dr N Birse

31 August 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Multiscale Imaging and Mechanics of Osteoarthritis

University College London

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive, age-related musculoskeletal disease and a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide, affecting approximately 7% of the global population. Read more

Supervisor: Prof P Lee

Supervisors: Prof W C Hayes, Dr J Cooper

30 September 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

PhD Studentship in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry

University of Edinburgh

School of Chemistry

Illuminating novel reactivity at main-group centres. Heavy carbene analogues, silylenes, germylenes, stannylenes, plumbylenes, and their group 13 relatives, should display dramatically enhanced reactivity in their triplet electronic states yet accessing and studying these species remains a fundamental challenge. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Cowley, Dr R Kong

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Novel analytical methods to detect particulate pollution

University of Edinburgh

School of Chemistry

A PhD studentship is available in the group of Prof Colin Campbell, Dr Maya Al Sid Cheikh and Professor Mark Miller, University of Edinburgh; School of Chemistry and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Centre of Research Excellence. Read more

EPSRC DTP - Mechanical failure mechanisms at high pressure

The University of Manchester

Department of Materials

The occurrence of earthquakes with hypocenters deeper than 60 km was recognised very early in the history of seismology. These deep earthquakes make up∼25 % of all earthquakes, are exclusively associated with convergent plate boundaries and locate within, or very close to, thcold subducting oceanic lithosphere.
