Resolving the timescale of south-central African palaeoenvironments and their impact on human behaviour and evolution

University of York
Department of Chemistry

Dr K Penkman, Prof L Barham, Dr T S White

Application Deadline: 9 January 2019

Timing is everything. accurate dating of the geological record is essential to understand our planet’s history, but beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating (~50,000 years) material becomes difficult to date.

Multiscale Urban Pedestrian Dynamics: Developing More Efficient Predictive Models for Smarter, Safer, Flowing Spaces

University of Edinburgh
School of Engineering

Dr M Borg

Application Deadline: 31 December 2018

Why is it that hundreds of people still die every year, and thousands more are injured, caused by crowd crushes and poorly designed infrastructure? The answer to this question lies in our current inability to model human behaviour accurately, with tragedies continuing to occur even when state-of-the-art crowd control procedures are employed.

University of Reading
School of Agriculture, Policy and Development

Dr D Asioli

Applications accepted all year round

Consumers’ choices of goods should not vary with changes in the procedure by which they are made or with the description. In this “consequentialist” view, choices should only depend on their likely consequences.
