Using administrative data to better understand the impacts of air pollution on health
This 3-year studentship is fully-funded, covering all fees and providing a stipend. This stipend will support work towards a PhD, awarded on the basis of original research presented in a written thesis. Read more
Environmental factors and Stoke Associated Pneumonia: An investigation into the short-term influence of air pollution on stroke characteristics and subsequent stroke associated pneumonia.
The association between daily air pollution exposure and risk of mortality and hospital admission is well established. Worldwide approximately 4.2 million premature deaths per year have been linked to outdoor air pollution, 58% due to ischaemic heart disease and stroke. Read more
Improving indoor air quality through behaviour change
Air pollution is considered to be responsible for more than 28,000 deaths each year in the UK alone, and long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular and respiratory illness, birth-defects and neuro-degenerative disorders (Laverge et al., 2015). Read more
Sustainable approaches to reducing air pollution and carbon emissions in urban hospital environments (RENU22C/EE/GES/DEARY)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
PhD studentship opportunity in Environment and Health
We invite applications for a 3-year PhD studentship in the MRC Centre for Environment and Health and National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Environmental Exposures and Health. . Read more
Understanding the Impacts of Inhaled Particulate Matter on Neurological Health
The biological processes underlying the development of dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders are complex and not fully understood, but accumulating evidence has demonstrated that exposure to air pollution, especially airborne particles, is a potentially important environmental risk factor. Read more
Effects of low levels of CO on cellular function and development
We are looking for a PhD candidate to work on an exciting project to study the effect on a toxic gas, carbon monoxide, on living organisms. Read more
Data-Driven Analysis for Reducing Turbulence-Generated Noise using High-Fidelity CFD
Applications are invited for a 4-year UK PhD studentship for the project titled “Data-Driven Analysis for Reducing Turbulence Noise using High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)” in the group of Dr Zhong-Nan Wang at the University of Birmingham. Read more
Data-Driven Analysis for Reducing Turbulence-Generated Noise using High-Fidelity CFD
Applications are invited for a 4-year UK PhD studentship for the project titled “Data-Driven Analysis for Reducing Turbulence Noise using High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)” in the group of Dr Zhong-Nan Wang at the University of Birmingham. Read more
School ventilation and indoor environment quality
Children are a particularly vulnerable section of society. They are physiologically less able to regulate their temperature and are more vulnerable to exposure to air pollution than adults. Read more
Research opportunities in the Department of Environment and Geography
We offer an outstanding, dynamic and interdisciplinary environment in which to carry out PhD research in all aspects of human geography and environmental science, including lab-based, field-based, desk-based and policy-oriented research. Read more
Modelling biochar-colloids fate and transport in the subsurface
Groundwater and soil pollution is a cause of concern for drinking-water sources, as toxic chemicals continue to contaminate subsurface reservoirs via wastewater, agricultural runoff, storm water, air pollution, and polluted soils. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD): Laser sensing and ranging systems based on novel laser sources in mid- and long- infrared spectral regions (Fraunhofer and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
This project will address the urgent requirement for new photonics tools to police stricter greenhouse gases (GHG) emission standards. Read more
PhD in atmosphere-biosphere-climate interactions and land-based CO2 removal strategies
The 2021 IPCC Report recognizes urgent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and large-scale CO2 removal (CDR) are urgently required to mitigate climate change. Read more
Passive cooling in cities: a multi-scale modelling approach
Passive cooling (e.g. Natural ventilation) is regarded as an important building technology to reduce energy consumption, overheating risk and promote sustainability in the built environment. Read more
