(SATURN CDT) Deriving Process-Microstructure Relationships for β-Transformed Zirconium Alloys

The University of Manchester

Department of Materials

UoM_Nuclear. Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Zirconium alloys serve vital functions in nuclear reactors and so need to survive in extreme environments of heat and radiation damage. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Davis, Dr MM Maric, Prof J Fonseca -, Mr P Honniball

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

(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) Decarbonising nuclear infrastructure through CO2-absorbing and crack-free concrete

University of Liverpool

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. UoM_Nuclear. Nuclear power generates about 15-20% of the UK’s electricity, producing radioactive waste that must be securely contained over long timescales. Read more

Supervisors: Dr GS Sang, Dr FG Giorgi, Dr M Patel, Dr X Zhang

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

Advanced CFD, Multiphysics Modelling, and AI for Energetics Processing

University of Birmingham

School of Chemical Engineering

This project will develop advanced computational and experimental tools to support the safe, efficient, and scalable manufacture of materials critical to UK and European security, with a particular focus on resonant acoustic mixing (RAM) - a relatively novel and increasingly important class of process equipment attracting growing industrial interest across multiple sectors. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C Windows-Yule

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

PRIMED for Medincinal Chemistry (PRecision, AI Informed, Molecular EDiting)

University of St Andrews

Research Group: Rebecca Goss

The PhD focusses on innovative precision molecule editing and diversification. PRIMED combines late stage enzymatic halogenation with synthetic diversification of aryl and alyl halides. Read more

Supervisor: Prof JM Goss

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Adaptive numerical algorithms for PDE problems with random inputs

University of Birmingham

School of Mathematics

PhD Studentship in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing . The project concerns the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) with uncertain inputs (e.g., material properties, external forces, geometry of the computational domain). Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Bespalov

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

Advancing Biodegradable Flotation Reagents: Evaluating Non-polar and Hybrid Oil Collectors Across Diverse Mineral Systems

Imperial College London

Department of Earth Science and Engineering

Research Group: Advanced Mineral Processing Research Group (Department of Earth Science and Engineering)

This PhD project will contribute to the development of more efficient and cost-effective flotation strategies. The project will assess the potential of biodegradable collectors such as gas-to-liquid (GTL) oils and other non-polar reagents as alternative to traditional mineral oil-based collectors. Read more

Supervisors: Dr P Brito-Parada, Prof S Neethling

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

Magnetism and Structure–Dynamics Interplay in Correlated Materials

University of Edinburgh

School of Physics and Astronomy

Project Summary. Understanding how magnetic order, crystal structure, and spin dynamics interact is central to the discovery and control of new functional and quantum materials. Read more

Supervisors: Dr GK Kaur, Dr CK Kirk

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Ratiometric EPR-SRS probes for environmental sensing

University of Strathclyde

Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry

Optical microscopy has generated substantial impact for modern research. While fluorescence microscopy provides the ultimate sensitivity, it generally lacks chemical information. Read more

Supervisor: Prof N Tomkinson

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

Electromagnetic Sensing for High-Temperature Microstructural Evolution

University of Warwick

This PhD redefines electromagnetic sensing by moving beyond magnetic permeability-dominated approaches to establish a conductivity-driven eddy-current framework for tracking microstructural evolution at high temperature. Read more

Supervisors: Prof C Davis, Dr F Zhou

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

Understanding how Li-ion cell failure affects battery system design

University of Warwick

Research Group: Battery Systems

There exists an inherent variability in how lithium-ion batteries fail – an event commonly referred to as “thermal runway”. This uncertainty drives additional cost and complexity into the design and validation methods employed for battery systems created for electric vehicles, aerospace or stationary storage. Read more

Supervisors: Prof J Marco, Assoc Prof TV Vincent

1 October 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
