PhD CASE Studentship: Systematic Avenues to Sustainable Investing
This is a 1+3 years studentship between the Department of Accounting and Finance at Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) and our industry partner Robeco, funded by the ESRC – Northwest Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership. Read more
Towards sustainability in energy-intensive manufacturing supply chains with integration of renewable generation systems (Advert Reference: SF21/BL/MOS/FATTAHI)
Manufacturing industries account for one third of the electricity consumption in the world. Several companies (e.g., Honda, Anheuser-Busch, Apple) installed biomass-based, wind, and solar generators in their energy-intensive facilities to attain low-carbon operations. Read more
Financing a low carbon and circular economy
1.Project Brief. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times. We are highly likely to face frequent and extreme weather conditions which may impact our society, businesses, and wildlife, causing immense economic losses. Read more
Industrial Robots-as-a-Service: Understanding Social and Economic Implications
OVERVIEW. The Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
PhD Studentship: ‘Choosing Wisely in Dentistry: To Dis-invest or Re-invest?’
The NHS has limited resources, with fixed budgets, and must prioritise the treatments delivered, with difficult decisions having to be made about the most efficient allocation of resources. Read more
Post-weaning dispersal behaviour, growth and survival of male fallow deer fawns
Why do some young individuals stay with their maternal group while others quickly establish themselves as independent? What are the causes and fitness consequences of this key difference in life-history strategy? This project will investigate these questions using free-ranging male fallow deer fawns as the model. .

Developing methods to quantify the potential for greenhouse gas removal using bioenergy - carbon capture and storage to speed up the establishment and uptake of perennial Bio-energy crops.
Crop yield and soil carbon turnover models are parameterized by using data from carefully controlled and measured field and lab experiments and when used spatially in predictive mode are driven by existing spatial data sets of weather, climate, soil types and land use at various scales. Read more
