The fluid mechanics of glacial ice sheets (mathematical modelling, theory, and computation)
This project involves the mathematical modelling and analysis of the dynamics of ice sheets, such as those of Greenland and Antarctica. Read more
Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more
Engineering Ice-Binding Proteins
Ice-binding proteins are produced by extremophiles to help them survive in the worlds coldest places. They have many potential applications, from the storage of cells/tissue to transport infrastructure. Read more
Antarctic Subglacial Lake Microbiology (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/PEARCE)
Antarctic subglacial lakes are one of the few remaining unexplored environments on Earth. Read more
Evaluating the potential consequences of climate heating for Caspian seals and ecosystem services in the Caspian Sea
The School of Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
Degradable and resorbable polymeric cryoprotectants
Extremophiles have evolved to survive in the world’s coldest environments, through the production of specialised macromolecules, such as antifreeze proteins and ‘ice nucleating proteins. Read more
Quantum Many-Body Scars and Weak Ergodicity Breaking in Rydberg-Atom Quantum Simulators
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
A perennial mystery of nature is how order can exist amidst chaos. Familiar systems such as the clock pendulum exhibit regular periodic motion. Read more
High-throughput biomaterials discovery
Polymer biomaterials have revolutionised a range of areas from drug delivery, to antimicrobials, to cellular cryopreservation. There are 1000’s of possible monomer combinations, molecular weights and architectures to be explored, and even small differences can dramatically change their properties. Read more
Metal organic frameworks for adsorption-based separations in the shipping industry
The project addresses the decarbonisation of the shipping sector and aims at improving the environmental performance of marine fuels. Read more
Replicating RNA with RNA
A critical event in the origin of life is thought to have been the emergence of an RNA molecule capable of self-replication as well as mutation, and hence evolution towards ever more efficient replication. Read more
Research opportunities in the Department of English and Related Literature
The Department of English and Related Literature is a world-leading department. One of the UK's largest graduate schools, we are proud to have built a welcoming, international community with a global outlook. Read more
PhD opportunities in the Department of Geography
Department of Geography. With an international reputation for research excellence, the department offers exciting opportunities to conduct research that has a real global impact. Read more
Next-Generation Hydrogen Production Using Polymer Nanotemplates
Hydrogen vehicles are already on the road, and most ICE vehicles can combust hydrogen with simple alterations. The byproduct of combustion is water vapour, making hydrogen one of the most sustainable fuels available. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Tracking the evolution of C-complex asteroids using carbonates
Project aims. This project will explore the evolution of C-complex asteroids during the first few million years of Solar System history. Read more
Uncovering the mechanisms of cryoprotectant toxicity and improving cryopreservation protocols
Cryopreservation is the process of placing cells, organs or even whole organisms at low temperatures so that they remain in a state of suspended animation and function is preserved. Read more
