Learning graphical models for heterogeneous functional data with applications in neuroscience
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a the below project. About the Project. Read more
GIF CDT: Manufacturing of functional ceramics for energy applications using low energy sintering methods
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
Computational and Functional Comprehensive Analysis of Natural Variants of GPCRs towards a personalized medicine approach
This project investigates the impact of natural genetic variations on a specific G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), focusing on its structure, function, and drug interactions. Read more
ENGAGING THE LIVER FLUKE ELECTROME
Liver fluke cause fasciolosis of humans and animals, significantly undermining ruminant production systems locally and globally. Control relies on a portfolio of flukicides with diminishing efficacy due to spiralling drug resistance. Read more
MSc by Research: Targeted protein degradation in plants – developing “Green PROTACs” for functional analysis of lethal genes
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
Impact of Sensory Loss (Vision and Hearing) on Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life after Stroke
Stroke can cause a range of sensory impairments (Connell, 2007; Hazelton et al., 2022; Sullivan & Hedman, 2008), including visual deficits such as visual field loss and eye movement disorders (Sand et al., 2013), as well as hearing loss (Bamiou, 2015). Read more

Model-Checking of Functional Programs: from Theory to a Theorem Prover Implementation (S3.5-COM-Grellois)
Most critical systems, but also many aspects of our everyday lives, are nowadays heavily relying on software. It is therefore crucial to test it, and to verify it. Read more
Solution synthesis of multi-anion functional materials
Solution synthesis routes to functional materials offer opportunities to new crystal structures and low temperature conditions not possible through sub-solidus solid state reactions. Read more
Nanostructured functional ceramics produced by cold sintering process (Ref: AACME-24-002)
Functional ceramics are promising for various applications, such as energy storage and sensor, biomedical applications. One of the biggest challenges for commercialisation of functional ceramics is high manufacturing costs because of the very high sintering temperature (>1000 deg C) employed. Read more
The functional consequences of intra- and interspecific variation in the material properties of bird bone
In order to understand the variation in skeletal biodiversity generated by natural selection, we must also understand how skeletons function, and this requires detailed knowledge of the building material – bone. Read more
Functional Materials Discovery Using Artificial Intelligence
A PhD studentship in computational chemistry (materials discovery) is open at the University of Strathclyde commencing October 2025. . Read more
